Abstract

Purpose- One of the
most important internal resources of the organizations are talented employees.
It is very important to invest in talented employees which is a value-created
resource for the organizations because in the long run it provides sustainable
competitive advantage and high performance. This study aims to fill the gap
through conceptualizing and developing a talent management measurement
instrument.



Methodology- We established a scale incorporating six dimensions of talent
management. Data were then collected from 313 owners=executives of the textile
apparel companies and analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis to assess
validity and reliability. Findings- We
have attempted to contribute to business executives and academics by providing
a valid and reliable talent management scale. 


Conclusion- In general,
studies have lacked a commonly accepted measurement instrument that comprises
all components of talent management. Our study in its originality provided a
talent management scale which the validity and reliability analyses are tested
through both SPSS and AMOS programs.
