Exploring the Link between Management Talent and Perceived Performance in Multinational Corporation in Nigeria

Abstract

organizations have begun to look for talent management practitioners (Human Resource 2018). Globally, successful multinational Organizations usually develop adequate strategies for talent management. Simultaneously, these successful multinational organizations, in working towards best practices, provide ways for attracting the transfer of talent workers globally (Oluwatobi and Gabriel 2021). In Africa, talent management picked up in 2006 as can be seen in the works of Raphael and Eunice (2015).They also argued that since Africa has lost critical talented workers to developed economies, consequently, Africa is a serious need for talent management. A lot of talented workers have been lost by Africa, to developed countries like USA, UK, France, Canada, Australia etc. (Raphael and Eunice 2015). The empirical evidence in recent research studies particularly from Mary and Mary (2017) who studied on talent management influence on employee performance in multinational corporations in Africa revealed that 75% of African CEOs reported that they lacked talented workforce in other to achieve their organizational objectives. Again their report found that African countries were unable to retain, as well as develop talented workers because of numerous facts which Abstract: This study carefully searched secondary data sources on the link between management talent variables and perceived organizational performance in Multinational Corporation in Nigeria. It explored data based on the review of relevant studies. Talent management Variables have positive links with Perceived organizational Performance. Talent Management Practices should be adopted to improve the overall performance of Multinational Corporations.
