Human resource allocation management in multiple projects using sociometric techniques
journal contribution
posted on 2018-05-01, 08:08 authored by Pablo Ballesteros-Perez, M. Carmen Gonzalez-Cruz, Marta Fernandez-DiegoThis article describes a new application of key psychological concepts in the area of Sociometry for the selection of workers within organizations in which projects are developed. The project manager can use a new procedure to determine which individuals should be chosen from a given pool of resources and how to combine them into one or several simultaneous groups/projects in order to assure the highest possible overall work efficiency from the standpoint of social interaction. The optimization process was carried out by means of matrix calculations performed using a computer or even manually, and based on a number of new ratios generated ad-hoc and composed on the basis of indices frequently used in Sociometry. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and International Project Management Association.
