The issue of tension between the individual objectives of academic and research staff and the strategic objectives of the institution in which they work is addressed in this study, to develop a methodology for their appraisal that takes into account both individual objectives, in the context of academic freedom, and the above-mentioned institutional strategic objectives. To this end, a similarity metric is proposed, based on the Manhattan distance, to measure the proximity between individual and institutional objectives, which allows generating an amplification factor for individual scores. The new amplified score can be used to generate work incentives, such as job promotions or financial benefits.
