| Abstract [eng] |
This paper consists of 62 pages, 19 tables, 4 figures, and 48 references. The aim of this master’s thesis is to determine the impact of talent management processes on employee engagement and individual performance. This research also seeks to provide practical recommendations to organizations. The paper consists of 3 parts: a review of existing literature and empirical research, a research methodology overview and analysis of research results, conclusions, and further practical recommendations. The connections between the constructs used in this paper are the first of their kind to be studied in Lithuania. Therefore, this study and its results hold both academic and practical managerial value. The literature review presents the genesis of the talent concept, outlines the various approaches to talent management and sets forth talent management processes within organizations. The paper’s first section also introduces the concept of employee engagement and reviews its factors and theoretical paradigms. The concept and theory of individual performance is also outlined. To investigate the impact of talent management processes on employee engagement and individual performance, a quantitative study was carried out which surveyed 369 Lithuanian private sector employees. The study found that talent attraction, talent identification, talent development, talent career management, and talent retention have a statistically significant effect on individual job performance when mediated by employee engagement. Due to the limited academic exploration of talent management processes, this construct should be explored in further research. |
