Performance evaluation is the annual assessment about the overall works and responsibilities for every staff in an organization or institution. It needs to be measured correctly and fairly in order to pay what the staffs havedone in a particular year. In this process, the staffs in the particular organization areevaluated with respect to specific criteria by the assigned decision makers based on their performance in a particular year. Based on the existing literature, the decision makers always overlook the sub-criteria weights in the evaluation process and only focus for main criteria. Hence, this study presents an approach of integrating the subjective and objective weights incorporated with Hamming distance method dealing with main and sub-criteria. A case study at an institute of local university in Malaysia is provided to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method. Based on the results, the proposed method can determine the most important criteria and the best staff in that institute.
