“…This model offers a simplified mathematical framework aligned with the NUC's existing benchmark for minimum academic standards, facilitating the appointment and distribution of academic staff. Enagbonma and Osagiede (2018) proposed a model for determining the optimal number of outsourced academic staff in privately owned Nigerian universities. Their model, an adaptation of Tella and Daniel's (2013) work, adheres to NUC guidelines on staff regulation, aiming to fulfill desired academic staff-mix ratios by rank.…”

The study aimed at analyzing the profiles of academic staff in the Akwa State University. The categories of staff included Professors/Associate Professors, Senior Lecturers and Lecturer1/Below with a total number of 26, 73 and 289 respectively. Hotelling’s T2 was adopted for the pair wise analysis between Professors/Associate Professors and Senior Lecturers, Professors/Associate Professors and Lecturer1/Below and Senior Lecturer and Lecturer1/Below. The results of the analysis revealed that there is a significant difference between the profiles of Professors/Associate Professors and Senior Lecturer, Professors/Associate Professors and Lecturer1/Below and Senior Lecturers and Lecturer1/Below respectively. This research appraises the average productivity of each category of academic staff in Akwa Ibom State University. This will serve as reference document for further research.

“…The findings revealed that BPO contributed positively to the corporations' overall performance. The method for determining the required number of permanent academic staff needed to complement the existing staff in a university was given in Enagbonma and Osagiede [7]. Enagbonma and Osagiede [8] formulated a mathematical model that analyses the financial implication of outsourcing policy for private universities intending to control the staff strength.…”

“…In this section, we present a table for the data of staff (permanent and outsourced) in an institution. Applying equations (7) to Table 3 we have the entries in Table 4 The results given in Table 4 shows that a total number of nineteen (19) academic staff need to ( π + I ) = 39 Suppose that the data in Tables 1, 2 and 3 are applied in equation 12, then we can ascertain the difference in the cost of maintaining the desired number of permanent academic staff and that of maintaining personnel outsourcing policy given in equation ((12) This result shows that the institution need additional ₦ 14974854.3024 per academic session to finance the desired number of permanent staff. It means the institution will employ 19 additional permanent staff.…”

The difference between the cost of maintaining the desired permanent workforce (academic staff) and that of maintaining the entire outsourcing policy is a useful index that allows management of private universities to know the financial task before them, well ahead of time for a possible solution. However, in the available literature, there are no adequate mathematical models that address such issues. The idea of linear algebra was used to develop a mathematical model that can address such real-life problem.

This study analyses the academic staff profile for the evaluation of productivity for possible reclassification of academic staff on the basis of their scores, using the Akwa Ibom State University as a case study. Data for the research was obtained from 388 academi staff members on pensionable appointment across the 38 departments as at August 2022, with respect to the highest qualification (Q), years of service in Akwa Ibom State University (Y), and number of research publications (R) respectively. The test for conformity of academic staff distribution with NUC staff mix revealed non-compliance of Akwa Ibom State University academic staff distribution with the National Universities Commission (NUC) academic staff mix of 20%, 35% and 45% for Professors/Associate Professors, Senior Lecturers, and Lecturers I/below, respectively. The discriminant analysis and classification justified the academic manpower deficiencies and revealed high productivity of Lecturer I/below with Doctorate degree, which can make up the 35% staff mix as required by the NUC benchmark minimum academic standard.
