The use of certain staffing requirements as a means of benchmarking academic staff structure
Journal Title: Mathematica Applicanda. Annales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae Series III . - Year 2018, Vol 46, Issue 2
Abstract
Considering the statutory staffing requirements by the National Universities Commission in Nigeria, this study develops a model to benchmark the academic staff structure that will meet the staffing requirements. The model utilises the absorbing Markov chain framework as its theoretical underpinning. An upper bound on the structure that will mature to meet the statutory staffing requirement is developed. Empirical data are used to demonstrate the utility of the model.
