Markov Analysis-: A Transition Matrix, or Markov Matrix

Markov analysis uses transition probability matrices to forecast how job incumbents will transition between roles over a period of time. These matrices show the historical probabilities of employees moving from one job to another or remaining in the same role. For example, a simple matrix may show that for a line worker, there is a 20% chance of leaving, 0% chance of a promotion to manager, 15% chance of a promotion to supervisor, and 65% chance of still being a line worker in a year. Transition matrices allow modeling the internal movement of employees within an organization over time.

Markov Analysistransition probability matrix is developed to determine the probabilities of job incumbents remaining in their jobs for the

forecasting period. The technique is named after Russian mathematician Andrei Andreyevich Markov,

A transition matrix, or Markov matrix, can be used to model the internal flow of human resources. These matrices simply show as probabilities the average rate of historical movement from one job to another. Figure 2-12 presents a very simple transition matrix. For a line worker, for example, there is a 20% probability of being gone in 12 months, a 0% probability of promotion to manager, a 15% probability of promotion to supervisor, and a 65% probability of being a line worker this time next year. Such transition matrices form the bases for computer simulations of the internal flow of people through a large organization over time.
