The Role of Talent Management in Promoting Organizational Agility Empirical Study from the Governmental Sector in the United Arab Emirates: A Conceptual Framework
ALDABBAGH TAMADHER
Abstract:
The research redefined, summarized,
categorized, and expanded the current conceptual
understanding of the effect of talent management
dimensions on organizational agility in the
governmental sector in the UAE. The study
conceptualizes the relationship between all studied
constructs, which enriches the current knowledge
for that specific topic. The main contribution of
this research is that it is the first attempt to provide
a more comprehensive explanation, and scattered
literature covers the theories linking broader
academic links on how talent management promotes agility through its processes (Recruitment and selection - Competence training - Development -Performance
management). All affect its components (Strategic orientation towards agility
- Agile organizational structures, methods, and process - Agile organizational
culture - Facilities supporting agility). Moreover, it is suggested that future
research may examine other talent management constructs to reflect a deep
understanding of the construct’s effect on organizational agility from different
perspectives. One of the recommendations for future research is to determine the
causal effect between variables by conducting empirical evidence through surveys
and correlational analysis of the obtained data.
