BACKGROUND

Human Resources Management has become one of the essential interests

of managers and decision makers in almost all types of businesses to
adopt plans for correctly discovering highly qualified employees.
Accordingly, managements become interested about the performance of
these employees. Especially to ensure the appropriate person allocated to
the convenient job at the right time. From here, the interest of Data
Mining (DM) role has been growing that its objective is the discovery of
knowledge from huge amounts of data.
In this project, DM techniques will be utilized to build a classification model
for predicting employees performance using a real dataset.
Three main DM techniques will be used for building the classification
model and identifying the most effective factors that positively affect the
performance. The techniques are the Decision Tree (DT), Naive Bayes,
and Support Vector Machine (SVM).
INTRODUCTION

• With the advancement and growth of technologies in business organizations, HR

employees need not handle the massive amount of data manually any further.
These data is very important for the decision makers, but there is a challenge to
mine and get the best and useful data from these huge data. From here, the role of
DM comes. It is considered as a recently emerging analysis and predictive tool ,
because of the existence and multiplicity of massive amount of data containing
huge hidden unknown knowledge.

• DM techniques provides an approach to utilize different DM tasks such as

classification, association, and clustering used to extract hidden knowledge from
huge amount of data.

• Classification is a predictive DM technique, makes prediction about values of data

using known results found from various data. Classification technique is a
supervised learning technique in DM and machine learning.
• The used classification techniques commonly build models, which in turn used to
predict future data trends.
IDEA OF THE PROJECT
• The idea of this study is building a classification model for predicting the
employee's performance based on a real dataset to get real and significant
results for supporting the HR executives and the decision makers.
• The attributes for training dataset are selected based on the related factors
for employee performance that confined between Educational factors,
Personal factors, and Professional factors such as (job title, age, rank,
qualifications, grade…etc.). These attributes are used to predict the
employee performance (the target class) to be - Excellent, Very Good, or
Good.

• Finally, when the suitable predictive model is generated, an application could

be developed to be used by the decision makers and HR’s Officials based on
the generated rules for predicting the performance of employees.

• This project will also target getting the most important variables that may
positively affect the accuracy of the employees’ performance prediction model
using the various feature selection algorithms that are supported in WEKA
such as CorrelationAttributeEval algorithm, GainRatioAttributeEval
algorithm, ReliefFAttributeEval algorithm, and so on
CLASSIFICATION PROCESS IN DM
 OBJECTIVES:-
 Gathering a dataset of predictive variables.
 Identification of different factors, which affects employees behavior and
performance.
 Using proposed DM classification techniques for constructing a predictive model
and identifying relationships between most important factors affecting over
whole efficiency of the model.
 CLASSIFICATION TECHNIQUES:-
1) DT ( Decision Tree )
2) SVM (Support Vector Machine) - SVM is considered as one of the most
effective supervised machine learning techniques , and it is recognized as the
appropriate technique in machine learning and DM for classification particularly
on both linear and non-linear decision margins where high accuracy of
model can be produced.
3) Naive Bayes classifier - Naive Bayes classifier is another classification
technique that is utilized for predicting a target class. It also provides a unique
approach for realizing various learning algorithms that do not explicitly use
probabilities.
4) WEKA - The WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) toolkit is a
machine learning platform, developed by researchers at the University.
