In this paper, we propose a new model on personnel performance evaluationconsidering the job specifications so that the personnel are evaluatedbased on the job rather than only individual specifications. This is the majorcontribution of this paper. Based on the proposed model, for both individualand job specifications, the corresponding criteria are determinedwith different factors. The individual criteria are obtained from differentresearches and are filtered and classified into three social, technical andmanagement groups. The job specifications are also collected from the aprevious valid research. We have used the pair wise comparison of normaland fuzzy AHP in order to determine the factor numbers of the individualcriteria and normal AHP in order to determine the factor numbers of thejob criteria. Finally, each personnel is given score (at most 5) regardingthe criteria and all the personnels are ranked using TOPSIS method. Thewhole steps are presented in the form of a decision support system and isimplemented in the Export Developing Bank of

In developed countries synchronous with improving and developing systemsand quality management technique in manufacturing industries, usingthese models and techniques in service industries has been increasedremarkably. Unfortunately in developing countries primary needs havebeen led to one-dimension and illogical tendency to manufacturing hasbeen decreased quality level in services sector. Therefore in this research,improving services in Information Technology (IT) industries has been investigated.QOS is an effective and efficient method for realizing customersatisfaction in an organization which used a lot in our country to meet customers’needs. Therefore in this research, I tried to suggest a combinationalmodel of Quality of Services (QOS), Fuzzy VIKOR technique and DataEnvelopment Analysis (DEA) technique to improve and to develop qualitymodel in services area and decrease lack of research on this subject.

AbstractInformation technology program is composed of several related projectswhich managing them with each other and program management integratedthese efforts but it does not manage project independent. The mainfactor that causes failing in these information technology programs is lessattention to the risk management topics .Information technology programrisk management forms based on aware of methods and tools used for assessingand reducing risk and presents solutions to protect organizationsagainst common problems in information technology programs and increasesuccess probabilities. In these programs، risks are not independent،so we should measure these dependencies and we consider this issue inthis survey. First we introduce a method for measuring risks by consideringtheir dependencies، then present a methodology for measuring informationtechnology program risks by fuzzy method and also we offereda method for risk classification. Using this method at Asikoda programshows effectiveness of proposed methods

Simultaneity with development of science and technology, Concurrentwith the development of science and technology in modern methods of obtaininginformation quickly, the food supply chain in the past few decades,accelerated in this regard by way of radio frequency identification (RFID)is one of the defining method to improve the competitive advantage offirms is considered. Use of RFID system is one of the best possible solutionsin supply chain management and logistics problems perishable goodswill be great help. This study aimed to identify and prioritize barriers andchallenges in the development of RFID technology in the supply chain offood. In this study, the method of fuzzy AHP (FAHP) and QFD is usedso that using FAHP relative importance of each of the food supply chainmetrics designed using QFD weights and Ratings barriers and challengesof RFID in the chain, food supply was calculated. The results have shownthat the lack of standards has the highest weight among other aspects. Afterthat, the issue of data security, high price, frequency interference, thecost of system integration, hardware and software infrastructure, systemcompatibility, and social problems in the supply chain are respectively thehighest weights

The study is mainly aimed to present and evaluate a conceptual model for useracceptance of information technology that is performed by a descriptive/surveyresearch regarding its nature. The conceptual model was designed through investigatingexisting models and identification of effective variables on acceptation ofinformation technology and was tested by studying attitude of users of the system inorganization under study including administrative staff, technical staff, intermediatemanagers and top managers in the frame of five hypotheses and ten sub-hypotheses.The results showed three variables, “effort expectations”, “execution expectations”and “mental norms” (social influence), were approved in the frame of threemain hypotheses and at the confidence level of 99% and ranked at three top variablesrespectively by the average scores of 5, 3.46, 3.14. Meanwhile the indexes of“adaptation with work conditions” and “communications facilitation” were identifiedas the most important indexes and the “continual use of computer in future”and “strict recommendation of use of computer to others” as the least importantindexes in the process of user acceptation of information technology. Also, amongsub-hypotheses under study only two ones were approved demonstrating “age”and “sex” are influencing factors on the relation between two variables of “effortexpectation” and “behavioral intention” as modifying variables. In addition, theunder studying variables had the most and the least scores among top and intermediatemanagers by the scores of 19.27 and 20.15 respectively

Tourism is an information intensive industry. In the current article the effectsand transformations that the information and communication technologies arecreated in the tourism network in the cases such as the omission of the intermediariesand providing information, creating the relation among players inthe value chains of tourism industry (ie. Travel and hospitality) and particularlyconsumers, providing the travel packages in a flexible and customized manner,is referred. For further manifestation of the article topic, a survey study isdone, based on a structured questionnaire, from a sample of 100 foreign (international)tourists who are visiting the national museum of Tehran, regardingto their internet usage in the area of tourism.The research findings show thatforeign tourists use the internet in different ways. However, respecting totheir age and needs, their usage is different. But in the cases such as organizingthe holiday, factors influencing destination choice, accessing the internetfrom home, ways to make a booking, using internet for different purposesduring holiday, sharing the holiday experiences with others, the most importantusage of internet in the tourism industry and tourism providers, the wayof booking from tourism organization, types of tourism organization usinginternet and the functions of tourists mostly using internet, the results give abetter understanding of their behavior

Web-based e-learning is not restricted by time or place and can provideteachers with a learning environment that is flexible and convenient, enablingthem to efficiently learn, quickly develop their professional expertise,and advance professionally. This study aims has been evaluate the acceptanceof using web-based e-learning systems for in-service education of employeesin Jihad agriculture of Bushehr. In order to, We distributed questionnairesto 190 employees in Jihad agriculture of Bushehr. This study usedthe Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as our theoretical foundation andemployed the Structure Equation Model (SEM) to examine factors that influencedintentions to use in-service training conducted through web-basede-learning. The results showed that Internet self-efficacy were significantlypositively associated with behavioral intentions regarding the use of webbasede-learning for in-service training through the factors of perceived usefulnessand perceived ease of use. The factor of motivation to use had asignificantly negative effect on behavioral intentions through the factor ofperceived ease of use. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use werethe primary reasons for the acceptance of web-based e-learning systems forin-service training
