Critical Review of Talent Management in a Local Context:A Case Study

Talent management(TM)is the current buzzword for organisations that want to attain competitive advantage globally,including Saudi Arabia.The present study explores the status and the emergence of TM in Saudi Arabia in the last few years based on reviewing the pre-existing literature.In addition,an insight into the challenges specific to the management of talent in Saudi Arabia is discussed.Due to the traditional and conservative society of Saudi Arabia,along with its governmental policies such as Saudization and the Nitaqat system,it has become extremely challenging for private organisations to employ TM practices.This study provides insights into various TM practices employed in Saudi Arabia;however,none of the studies have provided any information about the types of TM practices to be employed for a better and more efficient organisational performance in the context of Saudi Arabia.It is concluded that the practice of TM in Saudi Arabia is extremely selective in private organisations and can be considered to be in its infancy.Moreover,the gaps in the research in these areas are identified,and based on those,recommendations are made for the scope of future work.This study contributes to a critical understanding on the suitable TM practices that can be applied in Saudi Arabia as well.It provides insights assisting to further research and practical applications.Our study finds its relevance among TM academicians,human resource(HR)departments,policy makers,government agencies,talent managers,and employers who are either already functional in Saudi Arabia or are planning to open business processes in Saudi Arabia in the near future.This can act as a strategic development when collaborated appropriately with the government authorities.

Cognitive Placement Theory for Performance Appraisal： Talent Management and Individual Performance

This paper does search for talent management and individual performance. It believes that cognitive placement might be used for talent management to determine individual performers. Cognitive methodology assumes that HR manager replaces performance grade of employees into placement line. In upper case, it is grade of employees between 0 and 100. In lower case, it is percentage of performance sub-groups. HR managers replace the top 10% of grades into placement line. That group is talent management group.

Construction of a Multi-Level Strategic System for Cultivating Cultural Industry Management Talents in Colleges and Universities

Through SWOT(strengths,weaknesses,opportunities,and threats)and PEST(political,economic,social,and technological)analysis,this study discusses the construction of a multi-level strategic system for the cultivation of cultural industry management talents in colleges and universities.First of all,based on SWOT analysis,it is found that colleges and universities have rich educational resources and policy support,but they face challenges such as insufficient practical teaching and intensified international competition.External opportunities come from the rapid development of the cultivation of cultural industry management talents and policy promotion,while threats come from global market competition and talent flow.Secondly,PEST analysis reveals the key factors in the macro-environment:at the political level,the state vigorously supports the cultivation of cultural industry management talents;at the economic level,the market demand for cultural industries is strong;at the social level,the public cultural consumption is upgraded;at the technological level,digital transformation promotes industry innovation.On this basis,this paper puts forward a multi-level strategic system covering theoretical education,practical skill improvement,interdisciplinary integration,and international vision training.The system aims to solve the problems existing in talent training in colleges and universities and cultivate high-quality cultural industry management talents with theoretical knowledge,practical skills,and global vision,so as to adapt to the increasingly complex and diversified cultural industry management talents market demand and promote the long-term development of the industry.

Predictive HR analytics and talent management:a conceptual framework

Digitisation,new technologies and artificial intelligence demand organisations for new ways of working with a different skill set to accomplish strategic objectives.HR analytics is the scientific solution enabling organisations to make significant human capital and strategic business decisions and thereby gain a competitive advantage.However,theory-based relationships in HR analytics adoption is meagre.Further,there is a paucity of HR analytics literature on the role of contextual factors that affect organisations in building predictive HR analytics(PHRA)capability.Addressing this gap,we develop a conceptual framework through the lens of the Technological-Organisational-Environmental(TOE)framework and Resource-based theory to examine the relationships among the antecedents and consequences of PHRA capability considering talent management under the moderating effect of a data-driven culture.This paper is possibly the first study to propose a theoretical model to examine the effect of PHRA capability on talent management outcomes.

To analyze the influencing factors on the growth of economic and management talents in China's Sichuan Province, this paper constructs an analysis framework for the growth of economic and management talents, takes 340 economic management scholars in 53 higher education institutions in Sichuan Province as the research objects, uses CV analysis to organize their CVs and information, and constructs an evaluation index system combined with system science theory for the influencing factors from five dimensions: Educational experience, work experience, research experience, part-time experience, and award experience. Correlation analysis and structural equation model are used to systematically analyze the influencing factors on the growth of economic and management talents. The experimental results show that work experience, research experience, and award experience have a direct positive significant influence on talent growth;research experience and award experience play mediating roles in the influence of talent growth. This paper enriches the theoretical dimensions of this research field and explores the interactions among these factors.
