Über dieses Buch

Wie können wir sicherstellen, dass Organisationen robust und hochproduktiv sind und Probleme wie Müdigkeit, Burnout, hohe Mitarbeiterfluktuation, Motivationsprobleme oder Probleme mit dem emotionalen Klima vermeiden? Dieses Buch, das erstmals die Bereiche Prozessmanagement und Organisationsverhalten zusammenführt, bietet dringend benötigte praktische Anleitungen, wie Organisationen psychologische Probleme in ihren Mitarbeitern sowie Prozessanfälligkeiten in ihren Operationen diagnostizieren, antizipieren und angehen können. Die Autoren plädieren für einen menschenzentrierten Ansatz beim Prozessmanagement und helfen, negative psychologische Probleme im Zusammenhang mit emotionaler Erschöpfung zu entdecken und zu verhindern. Dieses Buch bietet einen Schritt-für-Schritt-Werkzeugkasten zur Burnout-Erkennung und systematischen Prävention mit etablierten Werkzeugen des Prozessmanagements. Das Buch bietet daher einen tiefen Einblick in psychologische Aspekte, die weit über das klassische Prozessmanagement hinausgehen.

Frontmatter
Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
In this chapter, we share with you our motivation for the book. First of all, we outline the latest developments in the field of process management and discuss whether it will disappear as a field of research (spoiler alert: it will not!). Next, we describe some observed issues with process management in firms. It seems that the field of study became way too technical leaving its most important element—the human—unnoticed. Finally, we explain the logic behind this book and its structure.

Chapter 2. (A Very Short) History of Process Management
Abstract
This chapter is about business process management. For those who come with a different background, we provide the basic information that one needs to know how to approach business processes. We deliver a brief overview of the history of process management, using analogies and brief stories. This is not the way process management is presented in academic textbooks, but we assume that the readers of this chapter need to capture the “essence” of process management and not all the details of its development. We show how process management has evolved from solving resource problems in primitive societies through military science to what we propose as the next step in the evolution—human-centred process management.

Chapter 3. (A Very Short) Introduction to Burnout
Abstract
This chapter deals with the psychological underpinnings of burnout and other related phenomena. The main aim of this chapter is to give an overview of the psychological mechanisms for those who do not come from the field of business psychology. Using short stories and examples, we show how burnout appears and what are the main drivers for its appearance (or its prevention). This chapter equips you with the basic knowledge in the field of burnout and provides you with one of the core theories tackling burnout—the Job Demands-Resources model. The most interesting thing is that this theory is compatible (commensurable) with the theories of business process management, i.e. process managers can learn why and how process management tools can address burnout.

Chapter 4. Identifying Burnout Using Process Management Inventory
Abstract
In this chapter, we talk about how you can recognise that there are psychological problems in your organisation. We first provide you with some visualisation tools that can help you identify the problems, their strength, or their nature. Secondly, we present some methods from psychology, anthropology, and our professional lives. We explain why and how they work. We also deliver an overview of the “classical” tool to measure burnout—the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Sharing some insights from our lives, we explain what can go wrong and how to avoid the shortcomings. Finally, we talk briefly about how sudden burnout can occur.

Chapter 5. Burnout Prevention Using Process Management Tools
Abstract
In this chapter, we show how to conduct process analysis. First, we explain the basic methods such as the “magic” triangle of process management, the eight wastes of Lean Management, and the process design. Second, we show how to apply the same methodology—i.e. the methodology used in traditional process management—to analyse psychological issues occurring in the processes of your company. Next, we introduce the concepts of process improvement and process innovation and explain how these concepts can be applied to your processes when addressing burnout and related psychological issues.

Chapter 6. Let’s Practise and Make It Tangible
Abstract
In this chapter, we look at tools from the process management field and try to apply them to burnout prevention. Tools like Design Thinking, House of Quality (i.e. Quality Function Deployment), or DMAIC are well-known in process management. The idea is that process management professionals learn to address the psychological and physiological demands using these tools. In turn, psychologists are given step-by-step instructions for some simple but rigorous tools that can help them address problems they are familiar with. Relying on years of experience from manufacturing, services, and quality management research, we show how to measure, improve, and safeguard the efficiency and effectiveness of your human-centred processes.

Chapter 7. Can a Firm Develop a Burnout Resilience Capability?
Abstract
While in the previous chapter we went down the rabbit hole and became very concrete regarding the application of tools from process management, in this chapter we go back to the organisation’s level and try to show the bigger picture of your burnout prevention activities – development of burnout resistance or even a burnout resilience capability. First, we discuss what an organisational capability is. Second, we talk about how one can measure an organisational capability. Finally, we give some advice concerning capability development. This chapter is designed to help you convince your executive board or those responsible for your organisation’s strategy of your change initiative, as top managers think in abstract terms of organisational capabilities (also called “competencies”) and not in terms of tools, exercises, or local (e.g. team or department) problems.
Yevgen Bogodistov, Jürgen Moormann
Chapter 8. Epilogue
Abstract
This book is a collection of thoughts that has one goal—to show that burnout is a work-related issue which can be prevented by properly organising the psychological aspects of work. We argue that psychological resources are as important as the tangible and intangible resources that business process management usually deals with. Yet, they are different. In contrast to a contract, a patent or a certain technology, psychological resources are in a constant state of flux.
