Designing a decision support system for human resource allocation in a project-based organisation
Year: 2020
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Human resource allocation is challenging organisations in various industries. Because employees today possess multiple skills and have personal preferences, it is difficult for managers to handle all the relevant information manually. This thesis studies the human resource allocation problem in the context of a project-based organisation. One of the main goals was to identify the factors that influence the allocation decision. Another goal was to design a decision support system for a case organisation, that could be utilised in the allocation process. The factors were identified from the literature and an interview with the case organisation. The factors were prioritised for the case organisation and used as a basis for the decision support system. Design science research was utilised to design the system. The main contributions of the research are the keyword-based employee search and identification of key user interface components. The decision support system should be integrated with other systems in the organisation to achieve maximum effectiveness.
