Addressing the issue of how automating the quantitative assessment of competencies through a competency assessment document came to remove the assessment process from the descriptive side and an attempt to propose a new model aligned with modern management requirements. Competency assessment is considered one of the most important indicators for managing competencies in organizations, as it offers valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of human resources, which is essential for strategic planning. Organizations are actively seeking a cost-effective and accurate system, aiming to minimize the impact of subjective biases in the evaluation process. Additionally, there is a need for a solution that facilitates swift assessment of a large workforce, ultimately reducing overall costs. To meet these requirements, the current study employs Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Intelligence mechanism to develop a contemporary and precise evaluation model. The study, which analyzed competency assessment data from the Algerian SEROR Company, showcased the possibility of creating a sophisticated quantitative model for competency evaluation using Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Intelligence Mechanism. The results imply that the institution has the potential to embrace a cutting-edge and forward-thinking approach, enhancing objectivity, particularly in dealing with complex systems. Developing a quantitative competency evaluation model requires a comprehensive database that includes relevant factors in the evaluation process, encompassing details about each employee's position, skills, knowledge and experience. The research emphasizes that creating a quantitative model through Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Intelligence Mechanism is highly achievable, with the applied study indicating an 85% success rate for the model.

In a knowledge-based global economy, where technological progress has become the crucial link for achieving economic development, many Algerian institutions inevitability faced of the developing of their managing methods of work based on the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT). The telework is one of the growing patterns in this context it has been widely used in recent years as a new conception of work and jobs, especially during the pandemic that afflicted many countries, including Algeria. However, adopting this method of organizing work raises many problems related to its effects, especially on the individual level, namely on the employee's quality of life, which is what the current study tries to answer. In order to do so, the writings and the basics related to telework were reviewed and discussed in the first part. While the second part was devoted to presenting the methodological framework used at field level. Based on a quantitative approach that included 142 employees from various sectors of activity, the results of the research included in the third part revealed that telework gives employees flexibility and independence in organizing their work schedule. It also contributes to reducing expenses related to the budget for transportation, meals, and childcare. In addition, telework enables employees to reorganize their social time (work time, family time) and thus, better match work and private activities, as well as reduce exhaustion resulting from various movements. It constitutes an opportunity to rest and reorganize, which in turn helps to raise productivity, according to most of the employees questioned. However, this does not negate the fact that this working method produces some undesirable effects, which are often perceived as negative consequences, as the results revealed the telework may be a source of social isolation and extension of working hours. Furthermore, the flexibility that telework gives to employees in organizing and managing working hours may lead to irregular schedules, which would blur the boundaries between family and professional lifestyle.
