Proposal of a guide for talent evaluation and management based on a qualitative and three-staged approach

Abstract

PurposeThe key objective of the study is to understand the best processes that are currently used in managing talent in Australian higher education (AHE) and design a quantitative measurement of talent management processes (TMPs) for the higher education (HE) sector.Design/methodology/approachThe three qualitative multi-method studies that are commonly used in empirical studies, namely, brainstorming, focus group discussions and semi-structured individual interviews were considered. Twenty-three individuals from six Australian universities participated in this study.FindingsThe qualitative study explored three key themes and ten subthemes of TMPs that are used in AHE. These were: (1) talent attraction, (2) talent development and (3) talent retention.Research limitations/implicationsThis study only targeted one country (Australia) and one sector (HE).Practical implicationsThis study offers three major contributions as follows: theoretical, practical and policy aspects. Theoretically, the study provides a value-add to Talent Management (TM) theory through designing a guide (conceptual model) of TMPs for the HE sector. Practically, it collects original qualitative data regarding TM in the HE domain. From a policy point of view, this study adds more debate around adding new ideas to Australian education strategic plans for HE.Originality/valueThis study has a unique methodology because of strengthening the effect of an in-depth case study. For instance, two different techniques were used for data analysis for the same research objective as follows: (1) both manual methods and content analysis software (NVivo 11) and (2) the three-stage approach. Using these techniques for the same purpose in one study can provide greater flexibility to examine the relationship between theory and data.

Menuju Manajemen Talenta Sektor Publik: Faktor yang Memengaruhi, Tantangan, dan Strategi

“…Secara sederhana, seorang pegawai dapat dikatakan bertalenta ketika dia mau dan mampu menunjukkan potensinya untuk melakukan hal tertentu yang lebih baik atau melebihi standar orang lain atau organisasi (Descu, 2012). Sejalan dengan itu, Scaringella dan Malaeb (2014) mengartikan talenta sebagai bawaan atau anugerah yang dimiliki seseorang, yang cerdas dan kreatif dalam mempelajari sesuatu dengan lebih mudah dan terampil (Mohammed et al, 2020b).…”

“…Peneliti lain, Murongazvombo (2015) mendefinisikan talenta sebagai pendorong penting dan elemen sukses bagi organisasi, baik dalam jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang (Mohammed et al, 2020b). Dengan fokus bahwa talenta sebagai modal (capital) kuat, (Naim & Lenka, 2017) mendefinisikan individu berbakat sebagai pegawai berkinerja tinggi yang dianggap telah memberikan kontribusi signifikan bagi kemajuan suatu organisasi dan…”

Career advancement comparative perspective study of university lecturer

“…One strategy to implement this concept is to implement talent management. The talent management process is carried out in three ways, namely talent attraction, talent development, and talent retention (Mohammed et al, 2020a(Mohammed et al, , 2020bMohammed et al, 2019a;2019b). The talent management process is important to produce lecturers with high qualifications (Mohammed et al, 2019b).…”

Fusing talent horizons: the transformative role of data integration in modern talent management

“…Recent advancements in talent management have revolutionized the field, transitioning from a largely intuitive, humancentric approach to a more sophisticated, data-driven model. This evolution mirrors a global shift towards sustainable business practices and the integration of advanced technologies [1][2][3]. Traditionally, talent management hinged on personal recommendations and internal referrals, but it now increasingly leverages analytical tools like sensor technology, data storage [4,5], and machine learning [6,7], marking a pivotal change in human resources management (HRM).…”
