Performance Evaluation – Methods and Techniques Survey

Performance evaluation (PE) is key factor in improving the quality of work input, inspires staffs make them more engaged. PE also introduces a foundation for upgrades and increments in the development of an organization and employee succession plans. Performance appraisal system varies according to the nature of the work and designation within an organization. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of classical performance methods such as ranking method and graphic rating scale as well as modern methods such as 360 degree appraisal and Management by Objectives (MBO). The survey also provides a comprehensive review of various fuzzy hybrid Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques such as Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS & FTOPSIS), Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP & FAHP), Multistage and Cascade fuzzy Technique, Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) technique and Type-2 fuzzy technique. Furthermore, this paper introduces a new proposal for Performance Evaluation of Sudanese Universities and Academic staff using fuzzy logic.
