Purpose: Evaluating the performance of employees is one of the most critical requirements for senior managers in organizations. One of the challenges in this regard is the assessment of the performance of staff personnel. Due to the nature of their activities, defining quantitative indicators alone cannot provide an acceptable evaluation. Therefore, this research focuses on presenting an applied fuzzy model for the evaluation of staff personnel.Methodology: This study involves developing a hierarchical fuzzy performance evaluation system composed of both qualitative and quantitative indicators simultaneously. The indicators consist of 7 quantitative and 5 qualitative ones, identified and fuzzified with the input of 11 senior managers of the organization. Considering all indicators simultaneously in a system would require a very large number of fuzzy rules. Therefore, a step-by-step model with continuous and hierarchical fuzzy systems is used in this article, significantly reducing the number of rules. Finally, the developed model is implemented in Simulink, a Matlab tool, using the Mamdani method.Findings: The results of the `evaluation of the developed model closely matched expectations with good accuracy, providing a suitable basis for employee assessments. The advantages of this model include its relatively good accuracy compared to traditional models, higher employee satisfaction, and reducing subjective assessments resulting from bias, relationships, etc. It also enables faster and simpler evaluations for supervisors and managers.Originality/Value: The presented model is a practical approach that has been implemented in a real organization. It offers the possibility for other organizations to conduct employee evaluations by adjusting some indicators according to their activities, thereby adding value to the scientific field.

Purpose: Considering the crucial and fundamental role of hospitals in maintaining the health of society and the gradual and effective improvement of patients, the performance of hospital nurses has been evaluated.Methodology: The hospital nurses were examined using data envelopment analysis. To establish the empirical principle, the number of units greater than or equal to three times the sum of inputs and outputs, an index of input, and an index of output is combined and considered as an output, and their efficiency is calculated and ranked based on DEAHP.Findings: The results show that Unit 12 was the most efficient and used its resources well.Originality/Value: The investigations are related to private hospitals in Tehran.

Purpose: This paper aimed to evaluate the performance of vaccination in Asian countries for managing Covid-19 isease in two areas: control of disease transmission and prevention of deaths (control of death rate) using a two-step Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA).Methodology: In the first phase, efficiency values are calculated based on the country's population and the number of people who have been fully vaccinated to provide a basis for analysis concerning transmission control (contagion rate). In the second phase of performance evaluation, considering the total number of confirmed infection cases, preventing deaths of people suffering from this disease has been done to evaluate the effectiveness of vaccination in Asian countries.Findings: The countries are classified into four categories using area charts, and for each category, some suggestions and analyses are presented. The results of this study indicate the vaccination performance in the field of contagion control and death prevention. Once the efficiency situation is determined, the policies and executive actions of efficient countries can be appropriate models for other countries to move towards proper efficiency and improve the situation of the pandemic.Originality/Value: The approach presented in this paper is to provide insight to measure the effectiveness of vaccination in future pandemic crises.

Propose: Operation Research (OR) has attracted the interest of many researchers. As human activity increases, the use of computers in implementing accurate and fast optimization algorithms seems inevitable. Usability and reliability are two important attributes for software quality and can play an important role in improving user experience.Methodology: In this paper, usability is presented as the user's effort in performing a task in the software application and reliability is presented as the ability to run a program in a given environment in a given period of time without errors. These two criteria are measured using a standard questionnaire. Five common software programs OR are evaluated. A random sample was used to select 20 questionnaires and determine the usability and reliability scores. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models without inputs were used to evaluate the five selected programs.Findings: The results indicate that the software GAMS was assigned the first role in the evaluation of five common OR softwares.Originality/Value: Software evaluation can play an important role in any field from business and industry to entertainment and entertainment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the performance evaluation of librarians in public libraries in Mashhad.Methodology: The present study is an applied research that has been done by descriptive-survey method. In the present study, according to the research literature, interviews with experts, the factors affecting the evaluation of the staff of the library department of public libraries have been identified. Then, using DEMATEL technique and Analytical Network Process (ANP), the data are analyzed. The statistical population of the study is all specialists, experts and decision makers in the field of evaluating the performance of the staff of the library department of public libraries in Mashhad, which is limited in number due to their background, skills, etc. The number of these specialists is about 45. Therefore, sampling is done by census. These specialists include the experts of Mashhad Public Libraries and the managers of public libraries in the city.Findings: The present study identified 9 performance evaluation criteria that include: personality, performance management, teamwork, commitment and ethical values towards the organization, communication skills, knowledge and information management, product design and services based on customer needs. Organizational citizenship, and ultimately perceptual skills. This study prioritized the criteria and sub-criteria affecting performance appraisal based on relative importance.Originality/Value: Managers are advised to consider people with high commitment, team spirit and willingness to participate in the affairs of the company to improve the performance of human resources in the library sector.
