Facilitation of Human Resource Movement in Complex Organizations: An Application of Mechanism Design Theory

Abstract

One of the issues in complex organizations is management of personnel movements. On the one hand, personnel tend to change their positions from one sector of organization to another part or from one post to another post or move to another branch of the organization in a new city. On the other hand, administrators reposition personnel inside an organization to avoid burnout and facilitate dynamic improvement of the organization. But internal movement inside an organization is faced with challenges, such that it should not cause any posts to be vacant and this requires access to a great deal of information about human resources of the organization and the need to processing them. In this study, we propose an algorithm using market design theory that permits managers to efficiently manage internal movement of human resources. This algorithm was developed by TTCC method and programmed in C# language. To demonstrate the accuracy of proposed algorithm, we applied it to a hypothetical organization with 2325 personnel, 155 branches and 400 internal movement requests. Simulation shows that proposed algorithm increases internal movement of human resources by 11% and help human resource management of organization to be more effective.
