Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of talent management (TM) practices on employee performance (EP) and to explore the mediating role of employee engagement (EE) on the relationship between TM practices and EP in Malaysian private universities (MPUs). Design/methodology/approach The paper used both descriptive and quantitative approaches, and the unit of analysis of this research consists of MPUs academic staff. The research sample consists of 314 MPUs academic staff, and a questionnaire was used to collect data from the target respondents, while partial least squares-structural equation modelling was used to evaluate the study hypotheses through bootstrapping approach. Findings The research outcome revealed that TM practices that comprise of talent recruitment practice (TRP), training and development practice (T&DP), compensation practice (CP) have a significant effect on EP. Furthermore, EE partially mediates the relationship between T&DP, CP and EP, while EE does not mediate the relationship between TRP and EP in MPUs. Practical implications The research suggests that universities management should focus on TM practices as a tool to achieve and maintain EE and positive attitudes (EP) in relation to work. Originality/value The research makes substantial contributions to the literature by investigating the effect of TM practices on EP through the role of EE as mediation in MPUs. The research is one of the very few studies undertaken in MPUs. Therefore, the results of this research serve as a guide for the universities management to develop their institutional strategies and policies in a manner in which their employees’ success can be achieved and encouraged.International Journal of Business and Society.

人才管理实践对员工绩效的影响:高等院校员工敬业度的中介作用:定量分析

目的研究马来西亚私立大学人才管理实践对员工绩效的影响，并探讨员工敬业度在人才管理实践与员工绩效之间的中介作用。设计/方法/方法本文采用了描述性和定量两种方法，本研究的分析单位由mpu的学术人员组成。本研究以314名高校教职员工为样本，采用问卷调查的方式收集调查对象的数据，采用偏最小二乘-结构方程模型，通过自举法对研究假设进行评估。研究结果表明，包括人才招聘实践(TRP)、培训与发展实践(T&DP)和薪酬实践(CP)在内的TM实践对企业绩效有显著影响。此外，在mpu中，EE部分介导T&DP、CP和EP之间的关系，而EE不介导TRP和EP之间的关系。实践启示:本研究建议大学管理应将TM实践作为实现和维持工作情感表达和积极态度(EP)的工具。原创性/价值本研究通过情感表达在mpu中的中介作用，调查了TM实践对EP的影响，为文献做出了重大贡献。这项研究是在大学校园进行的为数不多的研究之一。因此，本研究的结果可以为大学管理层制定机构战略和政策提供指导，从而实现和鼓励员工的成功。国际商业与社会杂志。
