A Novel Data Mining Approach Towards Human Resource Performance Appraisal

Abstract

Performance appraisal has always been an important research topic in human resource management. A reasonable performance appraisal plan lays a solid foundation for the development of an enterprise. Traditional performance appraisal programs are labor-based, lacking of fairness. Furthermore, as globalization and technology advance, in order to meet the fast changing strategic goals and increasing cross-functional tasks, enterprises face new challenges in performance appraisal. This paper proposes a data mining-based performance appraisal framework, to conduct an automatic and comprehensive assessment of the employees on their working ability and job competency. This framework has been successfully applied in a domestic company, providing a reliable basis for its human resources management.
