One of the ways to assess the level of contentment with the services offered by Poland's court system is the use of tools customarily applied in organizations where quality management has been implemented. Therefore, the purpose of the article was to analyze the possibility of using a modified Servqual method to measure the quality of service as perceived by stakeholders, based on the difference between expectations about what they receive and the perception of the service actually provided. In the study described herein, the use of the method was based on 22 observations and 22 expectations presented in comparative form and classified according to the Likert scale. Herein, 5 gaps in the model and the most important expectations indicated by the stakeholders were identified. In the conducted study, the most important expectations that users pointed out were: providing stakeholders with personalized attention when providing the service; the neat appearance of employees; convenient office hours; behavior of court staff that inspires stakeholders' trust; high competence in answering questions and the opportunity to conduct consultations; visual attractiveness and modernity in furnishing rooms and equipment; personalized care and a friendly atmosphere; security and certainty of the effects received (documents forwarded, consultations, rulings issued by a judge etc.) and confidentiality.
Purpose: The objective of this article was therefore to review the concepts concerning the essence of process approach with regard to public organizations. The scope of the overview included initial analysis of the possibilities to use this approach in common courts. Design/methodology/approach: In the literature of the subject, the concept of process approach more and more often is presented in the context of public organizations. This is often caused by the necessity to implement pro-effectiveness activities, the lack of funds that the public organizations have at their disposal, as well as by the increasing number of public tasks.Therefore, there is a search for solutions that would allow for the increase of effectiveness and for the improvement of efficiency of functioning of public organization, just as it is the case of business organizations. Findings: The activity of public organizations is usually characterized by a sequence of complex activities that are subject to achieving goals being important for the proper functioning of the society. The dynamically developing economic practice forces changes towards focus on activities that create value for the citizen. Research limitations/implications: Currently, it is believed that the essence of management of public organizations results from the nature of goals implemented by these organizations as well as from the complex surroundings. However, the objectives implemented by these organizations are different than the commercial ones. Practical implications: The processes implemented in organizations should be perceived as separate wholes with organic features that can be observed, separated and shaped no matter the industry in which they function. The correctly identified processes would allow for standardization of activities of public organizations. Originality/value One of the most important orientations, when it comes to managing modern organizations, is the process approach; however, its use in terms of public organizations requires taking into account their specific nature.
