THE RELATIONSHIP OF TALENT MANAGEMENT AND JOB PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL EMPLOYEES MEDIATED BY ENGAGEMENT AND SATISFACTION (Hard Cover) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781470969295)

Organizations worldwide are facing the challenge of managing talent effectively to attain their competitive advantage. Specifically, the UAE government's emphasis on localization (Emiratization) requires companies to effectively manage the talent of local employees. Managing the local talent for high performance is crucial for companies' productivity and competitive advantage. This research aims to conceptualize the talent management as a multi-faceted concept, consisting of two main concepts: talent mindset and talent strategies. For this purpose, 12 hypotheses that tested eight direct and four indirect relationships among the variables frame the research. A two-stage structural equation modelling approach was adopted in the analysis. The research found that the management of both talent mindset and talent strategies has significant positive relationship with job performance. Further, employee engagement and satisfaction were found to have partial mediating roles with talent management and job performance. It suggests that the oil and gas companies should implement and invest in the TM practices that will trigger satisfaction and engagement to achieve high performance among local employees. In this case, the attention should be given to implementing multi-faceted talent management, consisting of talent mindset and talent strategies. Talent management is not exclusive for the specific employees, but inclusive to all employees based on the requirements critical to their job performance.
