Abstract: The m-Polar Fuzzy Incidence Graph (m-PFIG) is an extension of the m-Polar Fuzzy Graph (m-PFG), which provides information on how vertices affect edges. This study explores the concept of matching within both bipartite and general m-polar fuzzy incidence graphs (m-PFIGs). It extends various results and theorems from fuzzy graph theory to the framework of m-PFIGs. This research investigates various operations within m-PFIGs, including augmenting paths, matching principal numbers, and the relationships among them. It focuses on identifying the most suitable employees for specific roles and achieving optimal outcomes, particularly in situations involving internal conflicts within an organization. To address fuzzy maximization problems involving vertex–incidence pairs, this study outlines key properties of maximum matching principal numbers in m-PFIGs. Ultimately, the matching concept is applied to attain these maximum principal values, demonstrating its effectiveness, particularly in bipartite m-PFIG scenarios.
