Personnel Selection for Promotion Using an Integrated Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process-Grey Relational Analysis Methodology: A Real Case Study

Abstract

The basic idea of personnel selection is to choose the best candidate for a job. Personnel selection is crucial in human resources management and also it is very important for both academicians and industrialists. Personnel selection can be a solution to a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem.The aim of this paper is to determine the best personnel by integrating Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) methodology. FAHP is used to determine the importance weights of personnel (17 alternatives) according to personnel selection criteria (22 subcriteria are categorized under 5 main criteria). Then, obtained fuzzy importance weights are defuzzified by centroid method. After that, defuzzified importance weights of personnel according to personnel selection criteria are integrated with a GRA model to prioritize the personnel alternatives. For a case study in Turkey, the ranking of the alternatives is calculated using the integrated FAHP-GRA model, and the best-performing personnel is selected for promotion. According to this methodology, managers/human resources department can easily predict how they can evaluate and promote employees.The proposed methodology requires less data and analyzes many factors by removing complexity of statistics methods in the literature. The main contribution of this study is to reduce data for a preference matrix using the integrated methodology. As a result, the number of transactions decrease. To the authors' knowledge, this will be the first study which integrates Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) methodologies for human resources in the area of industrial engineering.

GA-GDEMATEL: A Novel Approach to Optimize Recruitment and Personnel Selection Problems

“…Reference [75] identified the importance of "Productivity" in the workplace, and being productive can help the firm increase and utilize the capacity of the human resources it has. In previous research studies of [47,75], "Analytic thinking" (C4) and "Teamwork skills" (C3) were considered the most critical factors in 22 subcriteria to find the best personnel using the integrated Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations (CFPRs) and fuzzy AHP methodology. "Training fee" (C15) and "Selfconfidence" (C12) are determined as a casual criterion because it is fruitful to both employers and employees of an organization and an ideal employee will become more efficient and productive if he or she is trained well.…”

“…e grey set theory is a practical approach to theoretically analyzing systems with imprecise and imperfect information [46]. e grey relational analysis (GRA) model was widely applied to integrate uncertainty and ambiguity into personnel evaluation [47]. Capaldo and Zollo [39] suggested three group factors, including managerial skills, personnel characteristics, and professional skills, for the reliability of rating scales in personnel assessment.…”

Yazılım projeleri geliştirme süreci seçimi için bulanık çok kriterli karar verme yöntemlerinin kullanımına ilişkin bir uygulama

“…Diğer bir çalışmada belediye çalışanlarından 100 kişilik bir grup üzerinde bulanık AHS ile performans kriterleri ağırlıklandırılarak, bulanık TOPSIS ile de bu ağırlıklara göre performans değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır [10]. Başka bir çalışmada ise terfi ettirilecek doğru kişinin seçimi problemi, bulanık AHS ile kriterlerin ağırlıklarının belirlenmesi, Gri İlişkisel Analiz yöntemi ile kendi aralarında değerlendirilmesi ve sonrasında çalışanların sıralanması ile çözülmüştür [11]. Çalışanlar arasından en iyi adayın seçilmesine bir diğer literatür araştırması örneğinde ise staj ve stajyer öğrencilerden hangisinin işe alınacağına karar vermek için bulanık AHS yöntemi kullanılmıştır.…”

Evaluating Campus Components According To The Inclusive Design Principles Using An Integrated Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations And Grey Relational Analysis Methodology

“…Wang et al [13] proposed a supplier selection framework using AHP and GRA for the supply chain management. Ozdemir et al [14] integrated FAHP and GRA methodologies for personnel selection. Kose et al [15] used GRA for the most livable city selection in Turkey.…”
