Abstract
A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for managing tasks of employees within a blockchain-based workflow system. A workflow transaction associated with a workflow stage is received from an employee. The workflow system records the workflow transaction in a workflow blockchain. Based on a smart contract recorded within the blockchain, the workflow system determining a role for the employee is authorized to perform the transaction. If authorized, the workflow system executes a set of resulting transactions indicated by the smart contract and updates at least one condition for completion of the workflow stage. When the workflow system determines that all conditions indicated in the smart contract have been completed, the workflow system finalizes the workflow stage and advances the workflow to a subsequent stage.
