Personnel selection based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets

Abstract

One of the most important activities carried out by human resource management is personnel selection, concerned with identifying an individual from a pool of candidates suitable for a vacant position. Traditionally, personnel selection is a group decision-making problem under multiple criteria containing subjectivity, imprecision, and vagueness, which are best represented with fuzzy data. In this article, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method extended to intuitionistic fuzzy environments is proposed to select appropriate personnel among candidates. An intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), which is characterized by membership function, nonmembership function, and hesitation margin, is a more suitable way to deal with vagueness when compared to a fuzzy set. To demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method, a numerical example of personnel selection in a manufacturing company for a sales manager position is given.

An Extended VIKOR Method Using Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Combination Weights for Supplier Selection

“…Based on the collective weights of criteria w j , the normalized subjective weight of each criterion is obtained by Equation (10) [32,60].…”

“…To validate the effectiveness of the method being proposed, the intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS (IF-TOPSIS) suggested by Boran et al [60] is applied for the given case study. With the use of the evaluation of criteria weights and the ratings of alternative suppliers in Tables 3 and 4, the four alternatives are ranked as A 2 A 3 A 4 A 1 .…”

Personnel selection using group fuzzy AHP and SAW methods

“…Lin (2010) combined ANP and fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) to select personnel. Boran, Genç and Akay (2011) applied Intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS to select a sales manager in a manufacturing company. Keršulienė and Turskis (2011) integrated the principles of fusion of fuzzy information, additive ratio assessment method with fuzzy numbers and step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis technique to select architect.…”

Applications of fuzzy decision making for personnel selection problem: A review

“…Their method was done in group decision making environment. Boran et al (2011) employed an intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS approach to select appropriate personnel from candidates when selecting a sales manager at a manufacturing company. Finally Kelemenis et al (2011) for manger selection suggested using Fuzzy TOPSIS.…”
