Popis: Personnel selection is a very important activity in the human resource management of an organization. However, in many practical circumstances, due to time pressure and lack of information about candidates, decision makers generally tend to provide linguistic assessments and use different linguistic term sets to express their opinions during the personnel selection process. In this article, the VIKOR method combined with interval 2-tuple linguistic variables is proposed to choose appropriate individuals among candidates in a group decision-making environment. The interval 2-tuple linguistic variable, which comprises two linguistic terms and two real numbers, is more flexible and precise to deal with linguistic information in solving personnel selection problems. To demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed interval 2-tuple linguistic VIKOR method, a numerical example of personnel selection in a tertiary care hospital is provided.
