Decision support system for conflict diagnosis in personnel selection

A Realistic Personnel Selection Tool Based on Fuzzy Data Mining Method

“…Personnel selection often acts the most important role for controlling the human source and quality in HRM [12,13]. It is necessary for a well-functioning organization to possess three types of behavior (i) people must be induced to enter and remain with the organization; (ii) they must reliably carry out specific role or job requirements; and (iii) there also needs to be innovative and spontaneous activity that goes beyond role prescription [9, pp.4].…”

Crew Allocation System for the Masonry Industry

“…For tasks requiring two or more workers to work together, compatibility is a measure that determines the relation a worker has with his co-workers and the way they work together (Nussbaum et al 1999;Kumar et al, 2013). Compatibility should be considered to make an appropriate worker assignment because teams of workers that work well together are critical to work success and effectiveness.…”

“…Compatibility should be considered to make an appropriate worker assignment because teams of workers that work well together are critical to work success and effectiveness. In other words, teams of workers that are compatible may reduce potential noncooperation or conflict (Lin et al, 2012) resulting in an increase in the performance of a group (Nussbaum et al 1999).…”

“…Some masons work well together, but some masons do not work well with other masons. In most cases when there is conflict in a crew, the motivation of the workers is lowered which in turn decreases the productivity of the crew (Nussbaum et al, 1999). Therefore, an adequate mix of personalities is needed to ensure that the masons in a crew can establish healthy relationships to maintain a high level of productivity.…”

“…However, both practices do not account simultaneously for the different characteristics of masons (compatibility, suitability, and craft) and how these can be linked to site conditions to optimize the allocation of crews. As described in Section 3, not every mason can be assigned to every crew and not every crew can be assigned to every wall; a successful project is one in which the right person is selected for the right job (Palaneeswaran and Kumaraswamy, 2000).…”
