Comprehensive Analysis Using Probabilistic Linguistic Group Decision-Making and MEREC Technique With Sustainable Development Evaluation in Higher Education

Abstract

University administrators should organize and coordinate various affairs, scientifically utilize resources such as budget, teaching equipment, and faculty, continuously improve teaching quality, and ensure the sustainable development of educational management. The sustainable development evaluation in higher education management is a multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. Recently, the Exponential TODIM (ExpTODIM) and PROMETHEE technique was employed to put forward the MAGDM issues. The probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs) are employed as a technique for characterizing uncertain information during the sustainable development evaluation in higher education management. In this paper, the probabilistic linguistic ExpTODIM-MABAC (PL-ExpTODIM-MABAC) technique is constructed to put forward the MAGDM under PLTSs. The MEREC technique is employed to obtain the weight values under PLTSs. Finally, a numerical example for sustainable development evaluation in higher education management is put forward to validate the ExpTODIM-MABAC technique.
