Weighting indicators of employee performance evaluation using Taguchi experimental design approach

Abstract

Performance evaluation is a prerequisite for many activities in the field of human resource whose accurate implementation results in efficiency and effectiveness of performance feedback, training and development, employee promotion, human resource planning, etc. So accurate weighting of evaluation indicators is of great importance and can affect evaluation results. Therefore, using Taguchi experimental design, this study tries to weight indicators realistically taking into account interaction and synergy force among indicators. Moreover, differences in the importance of different levels of indicators were investigated. The result of using Taguchi experimental design as weight indicators showed that this approach can be a proper way to weight performance evaluation indicators.
