Abstract

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multi criteria decision making method widely used in decision making. In this study primarily concept and benefits of AHP are explained and some critics are stated. Then a literature review of studies on performance appraisal using AHP is presented. It is stated that AHP making possible by structuring decision hierarchy, developing priorities of criteria, evaluating intangible and tangible criteria together, determining inconsistencies of judgments and testing sensitivity of the decision model appears to be a useful tool for decision making in personnel appraisal

Performans Değerlemede Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi (AHP) Uygulamaları

Abstract

Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi (AHP) karar verme problemlerinde yaygın olarak kullanılan çok kriterli karar verme yöntemidir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle AHP kavramsal olarak incelenmiş ve yöntemin faydalarına ve yapılan eleştirilere yer verilmiştir. Sonraki bölümde performans değerleme konusunda AHP ile yapılan çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Yöntemin, performans değerleme sürecinde karar hiyerarşisinin oluşturulmasına, kriter ağırlıklarının belirlenmesine, nicel ve nitel krierlerin birlikte değerlendirilmesine, yargıların tutarlılığının tespitine ve kurulan karar modelinin duyarlılığının testedilmesine imkan verdiğinden dolayı performans değerleme uygulamalarında kullanılmasının faydalı olduğu tespitinde bulunulmuştur
