based economy becomes increasingly important as several approaches have been
proposed. One of the popular methods in multi criteria evaluation is the pair-wise
comparison of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This study aims to rank human
capital indicators using a hybridization of the AHP and two-sided evaluation
in Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFS). The new Intuitionistic Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy
Process (IFAHP) is used to evaluate the four main indicators of HC. The IFAHP
approach measures indicators of HC by considering positive attributes and negative
attributes of HC indicators concurrently via expert judgments. A fourteen items
questionnaire was employed to elicit linguistic data from three experts in the
field of HC management. Linguistic judgments of the indicators in pair-wise
comparison evaluation are computed using the five step algorithm of the IFAHP
approach. The results show that the creating result by using knowledge is the
highest in the ranking. Of the four indicators, Employees
Skill Index is the lowest in the ranking. The ranking surely reflects the importance
of the indicators in managing HC especially in Malaysian enterprises.]]>Abdullah, L., I. Taib and R. Salleh,2009923192324Abeysekera, I. and J.
