The Impact of Talent Management and Human Resources Practices on Employee Performance

Abstract

Talent management and human resources practices play a crucial role in enhancing individual and organizational performance by enabling the effective utilization of employees’ knowledge, skills, and potential. An effective talent management approach supports the placement of employees in suitable positions, provides access to development opportunities, and facilitates the achievement of career goals. When integrated with human resources practices, this process directly contributes to performance by strengthening employee motivation, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of talent management and socially responsible human resources practices on employee performance among 400 employees working in the service sector. The results of the analyses reveal a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between talent management and employee performance (r=0.869; p<0.01). Similarly, a positive and significant relationship is found between socially responsible human resources practices and employee performance (r=0.731; p<0.01). The findings of the structural equation model indicate that both talent management and socially responsible human resources practices significantly enhance employee performance. While the results demonstrate that talent management has a stronger effect on performance, partial differences are observed according to demographic variables.
