Discusses how centralized human resource reallocation involves deciding how to fit change in a way that maximizes aggregated outputs. Presents an alternative approach to reallocating human resources. Uses an aggregated concept in the form of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to construct a modified centralized DEA model that is combined with a Russell measure and applied to three different human resource reallocation policies. Demonstrates an application to illustrate manpower rightsizing in an airport organizational setting in Taiwan using centralized DEA for regular and/or contracted employees. Results demonstrate that the application is effective in reducing and/or transferring staff, while maximizing organizational output levels and implementing smooth downsizing. Presents directions for possible improvements in workplace efficiency. ISSN:0305-0483 Article type: Research paper Reference: 41AT973 (Permanent URL)
