Abstract

Today’s markets are global and highly competitive. Therefore, it has become essential for corporate survival to be able to adapt and respond to change around them. In essence, talented people are a source of strength for any organization and behind its success. Organizations must attract, develop, and retain talented employees, especially those who are extraordinarily talented. Thus, this research assesses talent management (TM) practices and employees’ retention in hotels. It also examines the effect of TM practices on employees’ retention. For attaining these objectives, data were collected using questionnaires from a sample of 390 talented employees in all hotel departments. However, valid questionnaire forms received from employees were 347, with a response rate of 88.97 percent. To analyze these forms, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used. The study proved that there is a positive effect of TM practices on the retention of employees.
