Abstract:
In order to achieve the concept of “Putting the right man on the right job”, the job director has to clearly
understand job’s requirements, related job’s skills, and, especially, employee who is possible to be assigned
to do the given jobs. The fulfillment of these concerned issues could be done by one of the information
systems called “Decision Support System” (DSS), which provides capabilities of identifying possible
alternatives (that is, the appropriate employees), supporting the alternative-comparison process, and
making-choice process. The DSS’s capabilities in supporting job assignment process increase not only the
job director’s satisfaction in assigning job, but also the employee’s satisfaction in doing the assigned job.
Moreover, the “Flexibility” is another factor required by the job directors in performing job assignment, and
communicating with their employees. Therefore, this research proposes a framework for building a Webbased
DSS for job assignment.
