Article: TALENTMANAGEMENT: A SYSTEMATICREVIEW
In recent years the concept of talent management is distinguished as fairly new and it has
attracted the interest of most of the researchers (Lewis and Heckman, 2006), so the
organizations are required to distinguish between their employees according to their
performances (Kontoghiorghes, 2016; Mensah, 2015). Human capital is the mixture of skills,
experiences, knowledge, motivation, and capabilities of the employees. Because of that, it is
important to recognize how to manage and control the talented employee, to invest in their
skills, experience, knowledge and to enhance productivity and performance of organization
(Burbach and Royle, 2010; Mate et al., 2016).

employees in organizations (Cappelli, 2008). Although most of the organizations apply the
practices of talent management there are a lot of mysterious issues that need to be cleared
(Van Zyl et al., 2017). The business environment has gone through many changes in different
aspects such as the nature of work and the new forms of work (Bozionelos and Wang, 2006),

between firms (Garrow and Hirsh, 2008). The organizations focused on their intangible
assets like knowledge and talented employees because the business environment is
characterized by uncertainty, complexity, and unpredictability (Chuai et al., 2008;
Dajnoki and Heder, 2017). By keeping an eye on successful organizations one can observe
that the organization which is hiring, managing and retaining high performed and talented
employees have a high level of organizational success,which explains the increasing demand
and competition for skilled employees on a global level (McDonnell et al., 2017).lt's become
obvious that the essential asset of a successful organization is human capital because it plays
a fundamental role in the competitiveness and growth of the organization (Lockwood, 2006)
that, put the human resources management on the front line and a strategic business

partner in the organization (Collings et al., 2019). So as a result, human resources
management (HRM) and human resources (HR) practices have become important, thus,
they are trying to find a strong framework and develop the efficiency of their practices
(Collings and Mellahi, 2009). Author: Maha Lutfi Al- Dalahmeh, Karoly Ihrig DocPublished on
