EMPLOYEE EVALUATION IN THE CONTEXT OF A NEW EVALUATION METHOD

The following paper discusses the problem of employee evaluation. It aims to present
the modern methods of evaluation in the context of the new alternative method developed by
Wiktor Adamus, which is based on a hierarchical analysis of decision-making problems
(Analytic Hierarchy Process). The first section of the article provides a synthetic
presentation of selected, modern methods of employee evaluation, indicating their
advantages and disadvantages in practical use in organizations. The second part is a
description of the multi-criteria research method and the possibilities of its application. The
third part presents the results of the study conducted in the IT company. In the study, a
multi-criteria method was used to evaluate employees, who included process engineers from
two teams: a team responsible for production process planning and a team supervising the
production launch. The evaluation was based on a hierarchical model composed of three
levels. The first level included the assessment criteria selected to suit the nature of work of
particular teams. The second level of subcriteria included the 6-level assessment scale from
'very low' to 'very high'. The final level of the model comprised alternatives, i.e. the number
of employees being evaluated. The conclusion was that the new method of employee
evaluation is better than the previous methods since it enables the selection of evaluation
criteria which are adequate for a particular job. This method allows for an easy and clear
compilation of results regardless of the size and type of the company, and thus the number
of workers subject to the assessment process.
