The purpose of this study is using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to inspect the evaluative criteria of performance and weighted model that are suit for nurse anesthetists. AHP not only can provide the supervisor a more effective, justifiable, and objective method in evaluation but also can indicate the personal achievement and development to nurse anesthetists themselves. To reinforce the employees¡¦ core abilities and assist the management of organization, AHP is anticipated to substitute for the traditional subjective impression-based evaluative method.
The research method includes consulting the references and industrial practices, by which performance appraisal criteria for nurse anesthetists were drafted. Furthermore, expert survey on the evaluation system in use was carried out among managers of the department of anesthesiology of 17 medical centers. Based on the data gathered from the questionnaire survey, analysis of importance and the AHP approach were applied to construct the structure and weights of the Performance Appraisal Criteria for nurse anesthetists. Also, verification was made in the department of anesthesiology of a chosen medical center. The result of empirical examination supports the practicality and fitness of the structure of this Performance Evaluation System. Findings of this research are as follows:
I. Performance Appraisal constructs and weights
The Performance Appraisal Criteria includes the following three constructs: 1. Work achievement (Weight: 0.352) ; 2. Professional capacity and character (Weight: 0.246); 3. Work behavior and attitude (Weight: 0.402).
II. Performance Appraisal Criteria and weights
1. ¡§Work achievement¡¨ construct includes the following seven items: (1) Crisis management (Weight: 0.085); (2) Particular contribution (Weight: 0.018); (3) Time arrangement (Weight: 0.0402); (4) Work efficiency (Weight: 0.056); (5) Maintenance of equipment (Weight: 0.046); (6) Cost control (Weight: 0.035);¡]7¡^Work quality (Weight: 0.069)
2. ¡§Professional capacity and character¡¨ construct includes five items: (1) Professional knowledge and skills (Weight: 0.029); (2) Executive skills (Weight: 0.043); (3) Responsive ability (Weight: 0.082); (4) Judgment (Weight: 0.064); (5) Confidence (Weight: 0.028).
3. ¡§Work behavior and attitude¡¨ construct has seven items: (1) Responsibility (Weight 0.061); (2) Devotion (Weight 0.047); (3) Teamwork and cooperation (Weight 0.042); (4) Attendance and Diligence (Weight 0.025); (5) Proactively (Weight 0.072); (6) Co-operation (Weight 0.084); (7) Pressure management (Weight 0.070).
