Tournaments versus sponsored mobility as determinants of job search success

Article Abstract:

A study conducted on the hiring practices of contemporary universities was conducted to determine the validity of claims that academia relies on sponsored mobility models when awarding such jobs. The findings reveal that, contrary to a huge literature base that tends to support the earlier claim, a tournament-based selection criteria is a more appropriate representation of the method used by modern academic management departments in the distribution of those jobs.
