खंड 2 No. Issue-11, January,2026,Pg1951-1961 (2026): INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN IT ORGANISATIONS

Abstract

This study focuses on the effect of talent management on the performance of employees in an information technology (IT) organisation. The research aims to discover the important dimensions of talent management in the recruitment, training and development, retention of talent, performance evaluation, career development and engagement of employees and measure their effect on the employee performance. The secondary qualitative research technique was used, based on an interpretivist philosophy and an inductive research approach. Data were gathered from peer-reviewed academic literature, and organisational reports, and analysed thematically. The results show that good talent management practices lead to better employee performance and enhance employee engagement; skill set growth, career development and organisational productivity. The study also reveals that competency-based recruitment, soft skill development, performance based appraisals, certifications, leadership development and continuous learning are some of the key strategies to build employee capabilities. Overall, a good talent management strategy can contribute to the competitiveness and sustainability of an organization in the fast-evolving IT industry. The study suggests some further studies using mixed-method approaches to be able to give a greater empirical understanding in the future.
