Abstract
In order to help career decision meking effectively, it is important to make the decision mekers aware of the meaning of their career in their lifetime as well as their everyday life. For this reason, it is useful to structure the persons' motives in a hierarchy and to present the results to them. In this paper, we propose to use the Fuzzy Structural Modeling (FSM) to achieve the goal. FSM is a technique to arrange elements in a hierarchy by applying the fuzzy theory to the data obtained from paired comparisons. Further, we discuss the effectiveness of FSM through an example of the career decision making by college students.
