| description | This paper investigates the nine criteria often weighed by working women in
their decision-making. Four methods of deriving weight for each criterion are
applied. Each method used will produce different weight values. In this paper
we are going to suggest a way to reconcile the differences in order to get a
consensus. For that purpose, ordered weighted average with fuzzy quantifier
will be employed. As an illustration, a set of data collected from 340 women,
academic and support staff of Universiti Teknologi MARA in Shah Alam, will
be utilised. Ratings of importance of each criterion by these women were
obtained through a set of questionnaires. The nine criteria used are also presented
in this paper. |
