Term “public organisation” is used interchangeably with term “public adminis-
tration” and “public administration bodies” in the paper.

H. Izdebski and M. Kulesza define public administration as a set of actions, ac-
tivities and organizing and implementing projects, undertaken for the implementation
of the public interest (the common good) by different entities, bodies and institutions,
on the basis of the law and defined by law forms [Izdebski, Kulesza, 2004, p. 93].

During the National Performance Review initiative, several process change
methods like business process reengineering or its more progressive methods of con-
tinuous process improvements were used [Stemberger, Kovacic, Jaklic, 2007, p. 119].

The implementation of business management concept requires time, above all,
due to the fact that implementation of process management creates the need for aban-
doning the traditional hierarchical organisational structure, so popular in public organi-
sations [Kucińska-Landwójtowicz, Kłosowski, 2012, p. 657].

Fettke et. al, this situation may imply the following consequences: first,
approaches to survey the process knowledge require high involvement
of employees in order to set the process steps in detail, second, initiatives
of reorganisation are often strictly limited or require special coaching be-
cause of a lack of necessary competencies. Also, even the implementation
of a process organization in public administration bodies is complicated by
the fact, that the responsible employees have to be convinced that a higher
level of process orientation would be useful and would lead to better per-
formance of the organization [Fettke, Zwicker, Loos, 2015, p. 497–498].
Usually, process management concept is implemented in public or-
ganisations during applying activities necessary to fulfil the certification
requirements of ISO standards, which primarily constitute the require-
ment of identification and description of the organisation’s main processes
[Flieger, Kosiński, 2012, p. 301]. On the other hand, full implementation
of process management involves the organisation passing through certain
stages, which in the literature are classified as levels of process maturity
of an organisation.
According to P. Grajewski, process maturity of an organisation is ex-
pressed as a range, in which the processes are formally: defined, managed,
flexible, measured and effective [Grajewski, 2007, p. 119]. Process maturi-
ty can also be defined as a state, in which it is possible to repeatedly achieve
the same result of processes, with a small margin of tolerance [Grela, 2013,
p. 170]. One can say that in a process mature organisation all processes are
identified and their effectiveness is analysed. Also in such organisations
design of new processes is carefully planned and there is a clear division
of roles and responsibilities in processes [Brajer-Marczak, 2012, p. 516;
Flieger, Kosiński, 2012, p. 302].
Determination of the level of process maturity of an organisation re-
quires a complex analysis of factors that determine implementation of the
process management concept. Furthermore, the assessment of process ma-
turity can be made using a number of diverse indicators, the comparative
method (benchmarking), or a selected model of process maturity assess-
ment.

organizacji, 2013, p. 10].
