基于元胞自动机间距识别的员工行为模拟方法

Distance Based Cellular Automata Simulation for Employee Behaviors

为实现复杂管理系统的模拟,根据组织和员工行为的特点,通过改进传统的元胞自动机(CELLULARAUTOMATA,简称CA)方法,设计了一种基于CA间距识别的定性模拟方法,用于研究组织行为与员工行为的互动变化过程.由一定数量员工组成的企业被视作社会场,元胞之间的距离用于描述社会场中的各种引力,这种间距也用于描述企业的管理措施、评价员工行为的表现.基于这种间距识别方法,设计了元胞的移动规则和模拟引擎.最后给出一个企业车间例子,将文中所提方法应用于企业管理措施的策略选择.确认和应用中的模拟结果说明,该方法可用于预测员工的两类行为(员工忠诚度和员工凝聚力)变化过程.

To achieve simulation of complex management systems, qualitative simulation for group behaviors should be studied firstly. Therefore, according to the properties of organization and employees, traditional Cellular Automata modeling is developed to simulate evolution of employee behaviors. The enterprise with a group of employees is viewed as a social field. The distances between cells are used to describe various gravitations in the social field. The distances arc also used to describe the management policy and evaluate the pedormances of employee behaviors. Based on the distance approach, the rule of cell movement and the simulation engine are designed. Through an example of a workshop in an enterprise, validation of the proposed simulation method is tested, and application to evaluating alternative strategies of management policy is illustrated. The simulation results of validation and application show that the proposed simulation method is valid, and can be used to predict evolution of two types of employee behaviors： employee fidelity to organization and employee cohesion.
