Abstract

European universities have been suffering several changes in their regulatory frameworks during the last decade. As a result, these universities are adopting new strategic policies with regard to their workforce planning. This paper addresses the strategic staff planning problem in public universities. Besides aspects considered in previous works, such as worker’s promotion rules, hiring and laying off, workforce diversity, as well as the available economic resources, here it is addressed the possibility of strategic decisions to reach higher rates in promotions. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear program. The objective is not only economic but also the achievement of a preferable staff composition.
