Can coffee consumption influence business process modeling behavior?

Abstract

Improving the quality and efficiency of modeling is an important goal of many research approaches. A number of influence factors outside the modeling environment are investigated. To measure the influence objective measures are necessary. Therefore, this paper strives to create a foundation for such a measures, by measuring the influence of caffeine on the modeling performance. Choosing caffeine has the important advantage to provide an unbiased setting. The possible path of influence of caffeine on the modeling performance is analyzed. A research model is developed and the result of a pre-study are discussed.
