Abstract

A model is proposed for a manpower system in which promotion probabilities are functions of the seniority structure within the grades. The aim is to investigate the adequacy of a strategy which appeared to be being used by the management of the nurses in an Athens hospital. It is shown that the strategy is capable of restoring the system to normal state but that the problem will usually recur.
