A positive correlation was establishedin the attitude toward the effectiveness and efficiency of business processes. According to the participant\u2019s opinion, the greater effectiveness of\u00a0 business processes contributes to greater efficiency (r=0.846; p<0,05). Spearman\u2019s coefficient rs=0.81 shows a strong connection between the effectiveness and efficiency of business\u00a0 processes.<\/p>\n
