The development and evaluation of a partial talent management competency modelOehley, Anne-Marguerite 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (Industrial Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / This study was driven by a need that was identified within a large telecommunications organisation to establish the Talent Management competencies required of line managers, and to provide HR managers with a measure to constructively, rationally and purposefully manage the Talent Management performance of line managers. In an attempt to address the above research needs, the study set about to 1) identify the Talent Management competencies required by line managers in order to successfully implement the organisation’s Talent Management strategy; 2) formulate these competencies within a model, and 3) determine what the desired Talent Management outcomes are and how these relate to line managers’ Talent Management competencies.
The initial part of this study describes the development of a Talent Management competency 360° evaluation questionnaire. This objective was achieved by means of a literature search, followed by the Critical Incidents Technique (CIT) of interviewing. The questionnaire consists of 8 dimensions and 43 items. The sample consisted of 123 leadership development candidates within this organisation. A total of 357 questionnaires were obtained.
A comprehensive Talent Management competency model was developed that defines and describes the line manager behaviours required in order to successfully carry out the Talent Management strategies within an organisation. These competencies were evaluated against the outcomes of Job Satisfaction, Affective Commitment and Intention to Quit that the Talent Management competencies are meant to affect.
Item analysis and dimensionality analysis were performed on each of the subscales, using SPSS. Thereafter, confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the relevant measurement model data sets, using LISREL. The results indicated in all cases satisfactory measurement model fit. Subsequently, the comprehensive Talent Management competency structural model was tested using LISREL. Reasonable to good model fit was indicated for the structural model. Ten of the 24 stated hypotheses in this study were corroborated.
A notable unique result of this research presented itself in the significant positive relationships uncovered between the exogenous latent variable, Talent Management Mindset, and the endogenous latent variables of Attracts and Recruits Talent, Builds and Maintains Relationships, Provides Meaningful and Challenging Work, Remunerates and Rewards Fairly and Manages Work-life Balance. These significant positive relationships provide empirical evidence for the first time of the importance of instilling a Talent Management mindset within the line managers. Additional significant links established between Affective Commitment and Intention to Quit, between Attracts and Recruits Talent and Organisational Job Satisfaction, and between Organisational Job Satisfaction and Intention to Quit corroborates previous research findings.

Disruptive Talent Management : A case study of a talent management system in times of disruptive technology advancementsZhu, Hong, Honkanen, Daniel January 2018 (has links)
The relatively new concept of talent management has been recognized to have a strategic role in disruptive business environments by both researchers and practitioners. A resourced-based view proposes that organizations should focus on internal resources and foster their own unique resources, for instance human resources. These unique and valuable resources are managed to become a core competence for facilitating organizations to seclude imitators and achieve competitive advantages. The proposition that initiate the research question of this thesis aims at delving into the relationships between talent management systems (TMS) and environmental volatility. The concept of talent management and other related theoretical concepts have formerly been theoretically ambiguous and remains empirically unexplored. This thesis aims to find out how TMS are managed in times of technology advancements. In order to achieve that goal, the authors integrated theoretical knowledge from the field of talent management and further developed a resource-based integrated TMS framework accordingly. Based upon a qualitative and abductive research approach, a single case study of a Nordic company operating in financial services was conducted to answer the research question and to test the framework. By following the order and structure of the framework, the semi-structured interviews were designed and analyzed respectively. The empirical findings reveal that strategic talent management proved to be of great importance in times of technology advancements. A lightweight structured talent management system addressing on flexibility and agility is managed to adapt to environmental uncertainty. Accordingly, the resource-based integrated TMS framework is reviewed and modified for future researchers and practitioners to use and further elaborate upon.

Developing Sustainable Talent Management in the Hotel Industry : Can Sustainable Talent Management lower the turnover rates in hotels?Ununger, Folke January 2021 (has links)
The hotel industry is characterized by high staff turnover rates and it seemingly struggles to keep its talented employees. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify central factors relevant for the development of Sustainable Talent Management in the hotel industry. To understand why employees in these departments either left or stayed with an organisation four different focus groups were conducted. The four focus groups consisted of 14 participants total who all either were or had been employed in the Swedish hotel industry as recently as three years prior to this study. Another criterion for participation was that they had to have been employed within one of the three departments with the highest annual staff turnover rates in Europe. Front of house, food and beverage or housekeeping. The data from the focus groups were analysed using a thematic analysis. It was concluded that sustainable talent management in the hotel industry should contain instances of retaining and developing talent in an organisation, whilst taking an internal social responsibility for parameters regarding employees’ health and factors that the organisation can control. As well as instilling a sense of purpose for the employees. While also viewing the employee as a form of human capital, valuing them for their knowledge and capabilities whilst also including them as the most important internal stakeholder. All without the intent of financial maximization. The reasons why employees within the stated departments left an organisation was predominantly due to job dissatisfaction with aspects such as a lack of safety through insufficient work-life balance, no clarity in what was expected of the employee and no work autonomy, issues with development including unclear career paths and a lack of advancement opportunities. Why these employees stayed were job satisfaction regarding the same aspects. What also emerged from the results was that the satisfaction of safety and development job aspects would outweigh the monetary aspects of employment. Indicating that loyalty to the organisation had been made through the creation of incentives to stay. If loyalty can be created through incentives to stay, then sustainable talent management actions could possibly lower the turnover rates in the hotel industry.

Background: This research is located in the broader body of literature that explains how aspects of human resource such as talent management are a product of organisational capability or a capability in itself. Aim: The primary goal of the study is to examine how Swedish firms enact global talent management to attract and retain international talent by looking at the strategies and capabilities they have built. Methodology: The study adopts a descriptive approach in comparing the different practices across the presented case studies. A pre-study with expert interviews is conducted to refine the research objectives and organise themes. We conducted qualitative case studies on three Swedish multinational firms through semi structured interviews. Findings: The findings of this study make a modest contribution by highlighting the difficulties and opportunities associated with keeping international students within the framework of the Swedish economy.

Attracting Talent in North of Sweden : A qualitative study on the extent of Person-Organization Fit and Employer Branding for the purpose of talent attractionAndersson, Olivia, Karbalai, Zara January 2023 (has links)
Companies in the North of Sweden are expressing big difficulties to acquire the right competency and the right people to fill voids in their organization. The purpose of this research paper was to gain an understanding of how companies in the north work with selected contributing factors, affecting their ability to attract talent. Starting off we gained perspective on how companies define talent and which talent management approach they implement. From there we learned to which extent they prioritize people fitting into the company’s identity/values and work with communicating with talents by displaying themselves as an attractive employer. Our attempt was to uncover any underlying behavior or beliefs within this region contributing to why this region, in particular, is experiencing difficulties in attracting talent. To reach these understandings, we conducted a case study holding six in-depth interviews with different companies in various locations within the region “Norrland”. By using the thematic analysis method, we concluded that businesses have attitudes regarding the nature of talent and how it should be managed which limits their view of who is considered as a competent potential employee. Moreover, we found that the majority of businesses operating the north to a relatively high extent prioritize their relationship with their employees. However, they do not work to a high extent with the creation of a strong employer brand, possibly contributing to the situation as it is perceived in the north.

Retention of employees in a professional services firm through wealth creation initiativesAdewuyi, Adebukola Mutiat 04 September 2012 (has links)
In the professional services industry, it is no secret that people are the greatest assets. The investment in human capital is the core of the business, the dividends of which can never be under-estimated. The continued success of the professional services firm therefore lies in being able to retain that investment within the organisation. The current high rate of turnover within the firm, and in the professional services industry, is indeed a big challenge for management. One that necessitates a review into a variety of ways of keeping the talent within the firm.
This research study was commissioned to look into one of the proposed initiatives for retaining employees; that of wealth creation. The aim was to source the views of employees on wealth creation as a way of increasing the rate of retention or otherwise as well as identify the preferred structure of such a scheme.
The results of the research showed that employees deem financial remuneration to be highly important and would stay with the firm longer if provided with a wealth initiative. There was preference for a short to medium term scheme rather than a long term one, with some particular suggested schemes coming out as preferred favourites than others. Respondents also went further to highlight other factors that were contributing to loss of talent within the firm.
The responses from the survey have been comprehensively analysed and recommendations made on the implementation of the wealth creation scheme. / Graduate School for Business Leadership / (M.B.A.)

Die ontwikkeling en empiriese evaluering van n verduidelikende strukturele sielkundige bemagtigingsmodelLingenfelder, Delmarie 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014 / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsingstudie spruit voort uit ʼn dringende behoefte om die faktore te verstaan wat daartoe
bydra dat sekere werknemers meer geneig is om te wil groei en wat organisasies gevolglik kan
doen om werknemers te motiveer en meer te wil ontwikkel.
Etlike faktore gee aanleiding tot ʼntekort aan lynbestuurders en die feit dat die begeerte om te groei
ʼn skaars karaktereienskap by werknemers is. Sekere konstrukte is beheerbaar, terwyl ander nie
beheerbaar is nie. Deur die beheerbare faktore te identifiseer, stel organisasies en bestuurders in
staat om aksieplanne te implementeer om die impak van die konstrukte en die afwesigheid van
sielkundige eienaarskap in die werksplek te verminder. Aksieplanne soos bevordering van
sielkundige eienaarskap mag daartoe lei om die hoeveelheid lynbestuurders te vergroot. Dit sal
bydra om tekorte uit te wis en uitdagende omstandighede die hoof te bied.
Bewese navorsing oor die implementering van ʼn gestruktureerde werknemerbemagtigingsprogram
kan bydra om hierdie uitdaging van die afwesigheid van sielkundige eienaarskap te oorkom. Die
lynbestuurder en sy/haar bevoegdheid is ʼn sleutelrolspeler in sodanige program en die bestuur van
werknemers.
Hierdie studie het ten doel om ʼn bestaande sielkundige bemagtigingsmodel vir lynbestuurders te
herevalueer en addisionele veranderlikes voor te stel wat organisasie-uitkomste soos
werkstevredenheid, werknemerdoeltreffendheid, organisasie-verbondenheid en voorneme om te
bedank beïnvloed. As lynbestuurders en organisasies verstaan watter lynbestuurbevoegdhede
organisasie-uitkomste beïnvloed, asook die manier waarop hierdie bevoegdhede op sodanige
uitkomste inwerk, kan hulle toegerus word om prosesse en programme te formuleer wat tot die
behoud van ʼn vaardigheid in die organisasie kan bydra.
Die studie en die operasionalisering van die sielkundige bemagtigingsbevoegdhede was
onsuksesvol. Die gevolgtrekking word gemaak dat die voorgestelde model gereduseer moes word
en talentbestuur se latente veranderlikes uit die model verwyder moes word. Modelpassing was
swak met betrekking tot die gereduseerde model. Modelspesifieke wysigings wat aangebring is,
was gebaseer op modifikasie-indeksvoorstelle wat uit die data afleibaar was. Met verwysing na die
gewysigde model is goeie passing getoon en ondersteuning van alle fasette en bene gevind. Daar
word aanbeveel dat navorsing oor kruisvalidasie met betrekking tot die gewysigde gereduseerde
model gedoen word.
