The purposes of this study are to construct a team performance evaluation model of the FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup using the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) concept, and to conduct an empirical analysis of the teams in the 2019 competition. Research data collected the report of match player rankings (P3) from the Volleyball Information System (VIS), which were based on 198 matches played in 2007, 2011, and 2015. This study employs grey relational analysis (GRA) for performance evaluation, and ranks the results using the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient for verification. The results show that the 12 criteria used to evaluate teams' performance had different effects on the teams' game-winning rates. The 5 key evaluation skill criteria were: spike points, spike faults, dig faults, serve aces, and kill blocks. It concludes that considering the volleyball teams' performance in both scoring and non-scoring skills provides a better explanatory power for win rates, and as such, our findings confirm that the performance of non-scoring skills contributes to match outcomes. This study suggests that the non-scoring skills training in these skills should be emphasized to improve a team's win rate.

本研究目的在應用多準則決策概念，建構世界盃女子排球賽團隊績效評估模式，並進行2019年比賽團隊實證分析。研究資料來自國際排球總會排球資訊系統的比賽選手排名（P3）報告，收集2007、2011及2015年，共198場比賽數據。本研究應用灰關聯分析進行績效評估，排序結果採以斯皮爾曼等級相關係數進行檢定。結果顯示評估團隊表現的12項準則對於團隊比賽勝率有不同比例影響，5項關鍵評估技術準則依序為；攻擊得分、攻擊失誤、防守失誤、發球得分與攔網得分。本研究結論：排球團隊應同時考慮得分技術與非得分技術的表現，能提升更好勝率的解釋力，且證實非得分技術表現對比賽結果貢獻。綜論上述，本研究建議進行排球團隊訓練時，擬定訓練計畫應強化非得分技術訓練，進而提升比賽的勝率。
