A multi-criteria decision-making process utilizes real-time data information, which is inherently uncertain and imprecise. To be relevant in the decision-making process, real-time data information must be reliable. Because fuzziness alone is insufficient to solve decision-making problems, measuring the information's reliability is critical. Z-number, which incorporates both restrictions and reliability in its definition is considered as a powerful tool to depict the imperfect information. In this paper, a new methodology is developed based on fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and fuzzy entropy for solving the multi-criteria decision-making problems where the weight information for decision makers and criteria is incomplete. The evaluation of the information is represented in the form of linguistic terms and the following calculation is performed using Z-numbers. Fuzzy entropy is applied to determine the weights of the criteria and fuzzy TOPSIS is used to rank the alternatives. An empirical study of subjective well-being of working women is used to demonstrate the proposed methodology.
