An Integrated Approach of Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy VIKOR for Personnel Selection Problem

Kayvan Salehi

Abstract


Personnel selection problem is one of most important tasks human resource management. Personnel selection for a decision maker can be viewed as a complicated multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem which requires consideration of a number of conflicting tangible and intangible selection criteria. Moreover, decision makers tend to use linguistic term sets for expressing their assessments because of their different backgrounds and preferences, some of which may be uncertain and incomplete. Hence, this paper focuses on developing a hybrid fuzzy MCDM approach by combining AHP and VIKOR for solving the personnel selection problem. Finally, A numerical example is proposed to illustrate an application of the proposed method.
