A Decision Model, via Integer Goal Programming, for Hiring and Promoting Staff in the Departments of a University

The policies Spanish Universities have followed for decades to hire and promote staff in University departments has caused serious structural problems, making it difficult to achieve quality teaching and research. MCDM is highly suitable in a situation, where a restricted budget has to be distributed between several units taking into account several objectives regarding the efficiency, internal equity, and quality of the system. The Malaga University authorities wished to ease this situation and commissioned this study which resulted in the following Goal Programming model.
