Abstract :

For long assigning the right person to the right job has been out in management sciences. In thisregard, studies conducted in various fields of human resources have proposed training as a suitablesolution to match the two mentioned elements. However the definition of training requirements haspaid less attention to the content of the job and the capacities of the employee while majororganizational trainings have been prefabricated.This article proposes a mathematical model called qualification matrix which has been designedto evaluate the match between job and employee. First, the knowledge required for any job andevaluation of the knowledge the individuals possess, are determined, then the match between thetwo will be determined using the designed mathematical model. The results derived from this modelnot only make it possible to design a suitable training system to assign the right person to the rightjob, but using the same in other organizational systems such as determining the employees’ career,evaluating the performance, compensating for services, determining the qualifications to obtain thejob, and other human resources systems of the organization, will also be possible.In designing this mathematical model, the linear assignment technique has been used and a casestudy has been conducted on a portion of information elicited from a company rendering after-salesservices.
