Abstract

This research examines the impact of technological and human requirements on the reengineering processes to improve efficiency. The study’s target population consists of 400 employees from North Drilling Company who are well-informed about the research subject. The sample size, calculated using Cochran’s formula, is 196 individuals, and random sampling was employed. Library and field research methods were used for data collection. The data collection tool was a 16-item standard questionnaire. Content validity was assessed for validity, and Cronbach’s alpha was used for reliability, yielding a value of 0.779. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check for normality, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and path analysis were conducted in the subsequent step. For computations, SPSS and PLS software were utilized. The results indicate that technological and human requirements in the processes of reengineering have an impact on efficiency improvement.

Keywords:
