As it is known, personnel evaluation and assessment is a process where the office staff members’
work efficiency is examined. The research findings are used when the managerial decisions are
made in the future. That is why it is so important to use an objective work efficiency assessment
methodology that ensures accurate calculations. According to the author, such a universally accepted
