Redesigned compensation plans de-emphasized seniority, added more variable compensation to motivate high performers, and gave weight to the in-demand skills.
Characterization of the architectures proceeds by calculating the topological variables seniority and priority as well as the radius of gyration Macromol Theor Simul 10 (2001) 870.
We've used average annual earnings to give a sense of the broad pay potential of the jobs, but within each category individuals can of course make far more or less than the average, depending on experience, qualifications, seniority and other variables.
In all models including seniority as a continuous variable we also included the binary group variable, coded '0' for the reference group and '1' for baggage handlers.
To identify the differences between the three groups at the beginning of the study, qualitative variables (sex) were assessed using a chi-squared test, and quantitative variables (age, seniority and time since medical graduation) with a 1-way ANOVA.
The other most robust variable is the seniority of personnel since in none of the specifications, either single or bootstrapped, were the estimates statistically significant.
In model 2 we further included baggage handler seniority, first as a categorical variable divided into quartiles (the highest quartile covered a large range of seniority and was therefore subdivided into two; model 2.1), and then as a continuous variable with the reference group coded with 0 years of baggage handler seniority (model 2.2).
The variables are as follows: type of health problem, pain intensity, seniority, and number of workers are survey variables, and the other variables are based on register data.
Background variables were year, seniority, type of hospital, type of speciality, and course attendance.
Work-related variables: Position, job seniority, the number of working hours per week, percentage of time working with a computer.
