This paper develops a decision support tool using an integrated analytic network process (ANP) and fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to effectively deal with the personnel selection problem drawn from an electric and machinery company in Taiwan. The current personnel selection procedure is a separate two-stage method. The administration practice shows that the separation between stages 1 and 2 reduces the administration quality and may incur both the top manager’s displeasure and the decision-makers’ depression. An illustrative example by a simulated application demonstrates the implementation of the proposed approach. This example demonstrates how this approach can avoid the main drawback of the current method, and more importantly, can deal with the personnel selection problem more convincingly and persuasively. This study supports the applications of ANP and fuzzy DEA as decision support tools in personnel selection.
Research highlights► TFN scheme catches the subjectiveness and vagueness of assessments. ► ANP incorporates the evaluation criteria with the staffing philosophy. ► Precision and confidence of assessment are considered by using different α values.
