Abstract: Aggregation operators are widely applied to accumulate the vague and uncertain information in these days. Hamy mean (HM) operators play a vital role to accumulate the information. HM operators give us a more general and stretchy approach to develop the connections between the arguments. Spherical fuzzy sets (SpFSs), the further extension of picture fuzzy sets (PcFSs) that handle the data in which square sum of membership degree (MD), non-membership degree (NMD) and neutral degree (ND) always lie between closed interval [0, 1]. In the present article, we modify the HM operators like spherical fuzzy HM (SpFHM) operator and weighted spherical fuzzy HM (WSpFHM) operator to accumulate the spherical fuzzy (SpF) information. Moreover, various properties and some particular cases of SpFHM and the WSpFHM operators are discussed in details. Also, to compare the results obtained from the HM operators a score function is developed. Based on WSpFHM operator and score function, a model for multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) is established to resolve the MCDM problem. To check the significance and robustness of the result, a comparative analysis and sensitivity analysis is also performed.
