The goal of this research is to prioritize effective factors on motivating employees to keep on working and determining the most important effective factors on the employees' motivation. In this paper, to grade effective factors on the employees' motivation for keeping on to work, the Fuzzy AHP method, which is one of the multi-standard decision-making methods was utilized. Field research and library research methods were used for collecting the needed information.  Results indicated that among the effective factors on the employees' motivation for job persistence, the health factor is the most important and financial status is the second most important factor. The least importance is given to the significance of the work for that person. In this paper, the effective factors on the employees' motivation for job persistence were rated for the first time. Results of this research are very useful in devising strategies that are related to keeping employees for the human resources' executives. The results of this paper are not applicable to all organizations. Furthermore, in this research, only the factors with positive impacts on employees for job persistence were rated.

Real World Problems

In most of real world problems, alternatives are evaluated according to a large set of criteria which confuses the Decision Maker (DM) in terms of allotting alternatives’ assessments. So, to reduce the complexity of the presented problem, it is recommended to organize the criteria into a hierarchy tree to decompose the main problem into sub-ones. Therefore, the DM gains detailed insight on each level of the hierarchy instead of focusing only on one level. In this context, we propose an extension of the Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS) method to the case of hierarchically structured criteria. The proposed approach is called Hierarchical Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS-H) method. A major advantage of the ARAS-H method is that it enables the DM to analyze the partial pre-orders (the rankings of the alternatives) at each node of the criteria tree i.e. according to each sub-criterion. The partial pre-orders present solutions of the problem with respect to each subset of criteria. In view of determining the criteria weights at each level of the hierarchy tree, we apply the AHP method. Finally, we apply the ARAS-H method on a case study related to tourism which aims to rank tourist destination websites brands in accordance with a four levels criteria hierarchy.

This paper describes the use and application of the TODA (Trade-off Decision Analysis) method through a case study. The method uses the concept of trade-off applied to a prioritization matrix and, to define the weights, it takes the concept of causality into account. Studies have shown that the TODA achieves the same results as the competing AHP method. However, it is easier to operate. The methodology used is a case study concerning the choice of the type of car for a fleet of vehicles to be driven by salespeople. Together with the software application process, the methods that aided the weighting of the criteria are described and how the values of the alternatives are converted into coefficients of the objective function. The results clearly show that the method is easily applied, but the limitations of the case study method preclude forming generalizations.

AbstractThe article raised issues related to the design and execution of low-energy objects in Polish conditions. Based on the designed single-family house, adapted to the requirements of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (“NF40” standard), the tools to assist investment decisions by investors were shown. An economic analysis and a multi-criteria analysis were performed using AHP method which had provided an answer to the question whether it is worthwhile to bear higher investment costs in order to adjust to the standards of energy-efficient buildings that fulfil a minimal energy consumption's requirements contained in Polish law. In addition, the variant of object that had optimal characteristics due to the different preferences of investors was indicated. This paper includes analysis and observations on the attempts to unify that part of the building sector, which so far is considered to be personalized, and objects in accordance with the corresponding idea are designed as “custom-made”.

During recent years, several experiences have been executed for interfering in inefficient urban fabrics, all of them had been forced on the basis of centralized intervention approach; determining a territory as the project range, funding sources, ownership, execution, utilization, is a single process , the attribution of which could be found in several cases in the country. The important point in this regards which determines the future strategies is the performance process and method. The global examples and local experiences show that all approaches, plans and executive plans should be developed and materialized on the basis of “people participation” principle. This procedure is executable in various forms; reinforcement of existing buildings, renovation of single parcel and assemblage of small sized parcels are the methods that play important role in this process. The present paper studies different scales of “assemblage” as one of the methods of housing renovation and by using analytic hierarchy model AHP method proves that assemblage in urban block scale by citizenship participation could serve both as a tool for improving land distribution pattern, and, providing new opportunities for the city to develop. The indexes that are used in this survey were selected by literature review and attribution to several executive plan cases.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effect of the ISO 9001 quality management system on customer satisfaction and show an application of an analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-based method for measuring the customer satisfaction index (CSI). This will be useful to anyone who wants to have an ISO 9001 quality management system in his or her organization. Design/methodology/approach – This paper describes an ISO 9001 quality management implementation process based on ISO 9001 requirements, and uses the AHP method for weighting effective criteria on customer satisfaction. All data were obtained via questionnaires and assessed with EXPERT CHOICE 11 software. Findings – According to the results of the weighting, the factors influencing the satisfaction of a kitchen worktops customer, price and sales terms of this product has a significant impact on customer satisfaction and, in competitive conditions, this criterion has a determining role in the creation of utility for customers. ISO 9001 quality management system has been able to increase the CSI within an 11-month period of study. Originality/value – This paper is the first to use the AHP method with a new approach in a case study, offering a complete, comprehensive method for assessing customer implications.
