“…Additionally, under the uncertain conditions in decision making process, the incomplete information, the difficulties in the constructing process of the linguistic scales and evaluations, the necessary of normalized and comparison matrices with the aggregated evaluations are among the main problems of complex multi-criteria decision-making techniques. However, there are several outstanding methods to solve the uncertainty related to data collection and methodologies including gray system theory and ordinal priority and gray ordinal priority approaches (Islam, 2021; Mahmoudi et al, 2020; Mahmoudi et al, 2021; Quartey-Papafio et al, 2021). To prevent these issues, in Table 2, the exact linguistic scales and evaluation sets are defined to obtain the experts’ opinion more accurately.…”

Serious environmental problems occur as a result of the unconscious production and use of energy. Hence, there is a strong need to develop an effective energy culture to provide sustainability for the energy investments. This study aims to identify the influence directions of dimensions and criteria for energy culture in emerging economies for sustainable energy investments. For this purpose, a multi-criteria decision-making model is proposed based on 2-tuple linguistic values and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The weighting results of energy culture are also evaluated for E7 economies. The findings demonstrate that energy companies should consider investing in technologies, assets, and objects which enable to reproduce energy usage. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that there is a misalignment of practices with material culture and norms what creates the potential for behavior change of consumers. Finally, the potential of bigger countries for investment opportunities in sustainable energies has been disclosed by ranking emerging economies. The results let us provide insights into development of energy investments by considering strategic priorities of energy culture in emerging economies. The novelty of this paper is to define a set of criteria and dimensions for the strategic priorities of energy culture in emerging economies and construct a novel decision-making technique with DEMATEL and TOPSIS based on 2-tuple and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets.

“…Ataei et al (2020) proposed the OPA and compared it with six other models; AHP, BWM, TOPSIS, VIKOR, PROMETHEE, and QUALIFLEX (see the last row of Table 1 for full names). Their results, and those of succeeding studies (Abdel-Basset et al, 2022;Pamucar et al, 2022;Quartey-Papafio et al, 2021), revealed that the methodology of OPA enjoys several benefits compared with other models. For instance, it has been shown that the OPA does not require a pairwise comparison matrix, normalization of input, and averaging methods for aggregating experts' opinions.…”

A popular framework of the supplier selection process is usually characterized by problem definition, criteria formulation, supplier screening, and supplier selection. The literature review suggested limitations of this framework as it ignores the screening of criteria (beyond criteria weighing) and evaluators (buyers) and its inability to guide the supplier selection problems where a measure of confidence or trust is needed to confirm the reliability of the selected supplier. While extending de Boer's influential supplier selection framework, the current study argues that the supplier selection problem is not merely about ranking suppliers based on given criteria; instead, it involves evaluating criteria and evaluators as well. Guided by the theory of statistics and the Ordinal Priority Approach (OPA), the study pioneers a probabilistic approach of supplier evaluation and selection under incomplete information using a novel Confidence Level measure. The study suggests, the probability that a supplier shortlisted for selection is actually the optimum choice or not can be explained through a probability distribution, called W-distribution, therefore, confidently preventing the decision-makers from selecting the sub-optimum suppliers. The study presents a novel contribution to the theory of multiple-attribute decisionmaking through the OPA. The proposed approach can help build intelligent decision support systems to aid managers while providing them with early warning tools and suggestions to improve confidence in their selection.

“…49 Primary information is essential to analyze the relationships defined by subjective variables or criteria. 50,51 Our data analysis is based on primary data collection via an on-site survey of nursing faculty staff in public and private hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan, by the first two authors. The respondents of private hospitals were 60% more than public hospitals, and the targeted population were mainly comprised of female genders.…”

Background:The study attempt to investigate the impact of individual-level factor (prosocial motivation), negative contextual factor (workplace incivility), and personal resource (emotional exhaustion) on the thriving of nurses. Methods: Primary data from 215 Pakistani nurses were collected and analyzed. Data were analyzed through the Second Synthetic Grey Relational Analysis (SSGRA) and the Regression Analysis. Results: We found that workplace incivility and thriving are negatively associated, whereas prosocial motivation positively influenced thriving. We also found the moderating impact of emotional exhaustion on the associations of workplace incivility-thriving and prosocial motivation-thriving. Both SSGRA and Regression Analysis revealed that the impact of prosocial motivation on thriving is more significant than that of workplace incivility, and moderation can also be found significant. Conclusion:The study suggests that a suitable work environment, appropriate training, and guidance encourage emotional stability and improve prosocial motivation. Similarly, mentoring, socializing, and acknowledging the efforts of nurses' faculty are likely to cope with workplace incivility and promote their thriving.
