Effects of Talent Management on Organizational Commitment and Support: Evidence from Survey Study of University Institutions.

Effects of Talent Management on Organizational Commitment and Support

Abstract

In relation to organisational commitment and support, talent attraction, recruitment, development and retention have been 
identified as key strategic tools in the educational sector. This paper employed stratified random sampling technique of 
survey research design to elicit responses from 464 respondents in public and private universities within Ogun State, Nigeria. 
Instrument validity and reliability were ascertained via relevant scrutiny and Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients, respectively. 
Analysis in the paper was anchored on regression models involving appropriate talent management (TM) and organisational 
commitment and support indicators. Findings showed that the talenet management variables exerted significant positive 
effects on organisational commitment [F(4, 460) = 8.111, p = 0.000 < 0.05] and support [F(4,460) = 10.641, p = 0.000 < 0.05). 
The findings showed differing magnitudes of effects of the TM variables commitment and support. Collectively, the TM 
variables exert statistically significant effect on organisational support in the university institutions. Consequently, the paper 
emphasised the need to attract, recruit, develop, train, and retain talented individuals so as to engender sustained 
organisational commitment and support in the universities institutions.
