This paper addresses the situation where a group wishes to cooperatively develop a common multicriteria evaluation model to sort actions (projects, candidates) into classes. It is based on an aggregation/disaggregation approach for the ELECTRE TRI method, implemented on the Decision Support System IRIS. We provide a methodology in which the group discusses how to sort some exemplary actions (possibly fictitious ones), instead of discussing what values the model parameters should take. This paper shows how IRIS may be used to help the group to iteratively reach an agreement on how to sort one or a few actions at a time, preserving the consistency of these sorting examples both at the individual level and at the collective level. The computation of information that may guide the discussion among the group members is also suggested. We provide an illustrative example and discuss some paths for future research motivated by this work.
L'absentéisme des personnels soignants des établissements de santé français est un phénomène en croissance et au niveau très élevé relativement aux chiffres du secteur industriel ou de l'ensemble du champ de la fonction publique. Les recherches sur l'absentéisme en général et sur l'absentéisme hospitalier en particulier ont en commun de montrer la part significative des facteurs exogènes pour expliquer le phénomène. Or, le secteur hospitalier a connu ces dernières années de multiples réformes qui visaient à le transformer en profondeur. Dans ce contexte, les établissements ont modifié leurs organisations du travail, et ont conçu de nouveaux leviers pour gérer les ressources hospitalières. L'objet de cet article est de montrer, à travers les résultats d'une recherche-intervention réalisée dans dix établissements de santé, les possibles impacts des réformes hospitalières sur l'accroissement de l'absentéisme des personnels soignants dans les établissements de santé.
International audienceProblem structuring methods lead to a better understanding of problems by proposing that individuals engage in a structured process of investigation of such elements as causal relationships, connected problems, and possible solutions. This paper first examines possible ways of organizing the participation of multiple deci- sion-makers in the varying contexts of the problem structuring process. The paper presents an original methodology based on investigating the participants' contribu- tions with respect to the problem explored. This methodology uses cognitive mapping techniques and offers two kinds of support, the first justifying a specific division of the participant set into thematic subgroups and the second providing a basis for further exploration using different problem structuring methods
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
