“…techniques, such as 1) interview (Chopra and Golab, 2018;Jacobson et al, 2012;Buwembo et al, 2014;Kang et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2014;Lewis et al, 2015;Kim & Talbott, 2017;Qutab & Shafique, 2011); 2) survey (Park et al, 2016;Ramhit, 2019, Mouza & Taousanis, 2017Butler, 2008;Carliner et al, 2015;Krumer-Nevo et al, 2011;Stybel, 2010); 3) systematic mapping study (Arias et al, 2018) and 4) process logs and IoT (Van der Aalst & Weijters, 2004;Song et al, 2022;Seiger et al, 2022;and Iman et al, 2024) Another finding is that from sample from 15 job descriptions document in, it shows that using the text mining method, the existing job description document can only extract information about processes and actors whereas to accomplish BP mapping, four elements are required: 1) actor; 2) process; 3) documents; and 4) document flow. As a result, in the research presented in this paper, restructuring the sentence in the job description is proposed on specific sentences, most notably the roles and responsibilities of positions.…”

“…Process identification can be performed by interviewing the workers. Usually it is conducted to search for social networks (Chopra and Golab, 2018), to know the perception of each volunteer interviewed (Jacobson et al, 2012); to find out the respondent's interpretation of the job description (Buwembo et al, 2014); to know satisfaction with the job description (Kang et al, 2016); to conduct a job analysis (Lee et al, 2014); to know the role of each worker (Lewis et al, 2015); to determine interest (Kim and Talbott, 2017); and to know the actual situation (Qutab & Shafique, 2011). The interview results will then be analyzed to perform BP mapping.…”
