Public credibility evaluation of scientific and technological organizations based on analytic hierarchy process

摘要

To evaluate the public credibility of scientific and technological organizations (taking Zhejiang Province China as an example), the evaluation model based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was constructed. Qualified organizations were screened in 4 aspects: organization administration and capacity building, infrastructures, business activities and performance, and social impact. An evaluation indicator system was constructed with 16 evaluation indicators, covering the qualities of information transparency, organization institution, technical service, and evaluation by government and business administration authorities. The comprehensive evaluation was performed by means of AHP and using the established evaluation indicator system. The results showed that the focus of improving the public credibility of scientific and technological organizations in Zhejiang Province lies in improving institution, information transparency, technical service and training, and evaluation from government and business administration authorities. Moreover, some countermeasures are proposed.
