Tools for Evaluating and Selecting Employees in the Conditions of the Bani-World

Abstract

The article examines the appraisal and recruitment process in the context of the transformation of social and labor relations and BANI world influence on the requirements for professional and over-professional (soft) skills of employees. The aim of the study is to develop tools for assessing and recruiting employees in a BANI world characterized by a high degree of brittleness, anxiety, nonlinearity and incomprehensibility of changing socio-economic conditions. The authors use general scientific and special research methods. The study is based on a competency-based approach, focused on meeting the growing needs of the organization to improve the efficiency of employees’ work. We propose an algorithm for classifying employees, considering the importance of labor functions and competencies, based on the use of fuzzy linguistic evaluation tools, which allows leveling the influence of uncertainty and determining the level of competence of employees to increase the degree of efficiency of management decisions. As a result of the study, the authors developed fuzzy linguistic evaluation tools to simplify the process of personnel recruitment and assessment under conditions of uncertainty. The developed assessment tools may be used at the intra-company level to simplify the classification of employees in assessing and selecting qualified personnel. This process is proposed to be carried out based on identifying the degree of employees’ possession of the relevant competencies required to perform labor functions. In this regard, when making managerial decisions, it is recommended to rely on fuzzy linguistic evaluation tools, which are effective for solving multicriteria problems. The study concludes that using the authors' tools will help increase the validity of managerial decisions taken to assess the professional and over-professional skills of employees for comprehensively justified recruitment in a high degree of uncertainty of the BANI world.

“…However, when a crisis (such as a pandemic or a change in the climate) occurs, the business environment becomes chaotic and extremely difficult to predict in terms of how businesses and their personnel will behave. Cascio J. asserted that current ideas like VUCA are inappropriate for a world that is rapidly evolving and proposed the new concept of BANI because the world has never been more Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible (Fedchenko et al, 2022;de Godo and Ribas Filho, 2021).…”

Developmental Assets and Career Development in the Educational System: Integrating Awareness of Self-Identity, Knowledge of the World of Work and the SDGs in School Programs

“…This new concept of a BANI world, proposed by Cascio [2], denotes the global chaos activated by the pandemic in all life spheres, including the impossibility of identifying unexpected situations as risks, the rise in dysfunctional functioning exacerbated by instability, the high heterogeneity of cause-and-effect relations, and the difficulties in convenient decision-making processes and systematic analysis. The emerging related literature shows that the features of this new model should be considered in several life domains and health sectors [3][4][5]. Accordingly, education should develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to effectively cope with these complexities and should adopt a holistic approach that allows learners to increase both their contextual knowledge and self-knowledge, as well as their interconnections [6].…”
