Understanding the Role Performance Through the Lenses of Talent Management and Its Facets

Abstract

The research was conducted to understand the possible relationship of talent management and its four facets with role performance of the employees working in telecom sector of Pakistan. To test the hypotheses of the study, the data based on 262 respondents was collected through simple random sampling method. The primary data was collected by distributing print outs of the questionnaire for which scales were adapted from previous studies. The relationship of talent management and its facets with employee performance was tested through step wise multiple regression analysis. The relationship of talent retention with role performance was not supported by the data. Whereas, other facets of talent management viz. training and development, talent attraction and career development were having substantial relationship with role performance. In addition to this, the relationship between talent management and role performance was found positive and significant. Due to limited financial resources and paucity of time, the study has some limitations. The study is conducted based on cross sectional design and limited the sample to one major city of the country. Whereas, the longitudinal study with more geographical coverage can give more generalized results.
