The impact of talent management and employee engagement on organisational performance

摘要

The paper studies the impact of talent management on organisational performance in multinational corporations through applying management development and strategic HR inputs, and to evaluate the mediating role of employee engagement in the strategic HR inputs and organisational performance relationship. An online survey was distributed among managers of the first ten global multinational corporations listed by Fortune magazine 2013 and 498 responses were collected. The respondents were selected through Linkedln using stratified sampling. PLS-SEM was used to test the hypothesised relationships of the model. The result shows a positive relationship between (1) MD Index and organisational performance, (2) strategic HR and organisational performance, and (3) employee engagement and organisational performance. Utilising PLS path modelling to evaluate structural model including higher-order component (MD Index) is highly original. The paper emphasises the importance of engagement as a mediator of the relationship between strategic HR and organisational performance in the talent management context.
