Abstract

As the significance of human resources increases, effectively utilizing the human potential within organizations has become a crucial factor in gaining competitive advantage. In recent years, advanced human resource management practices focusing on the talents of employees in business organizations have been gaining importance. This study examines the applications of talent management in the banking sector, encompassing fundamental elements such as the appropriate employment, training, development, and retention of organization employees based on their talents. The aim of the research is to elucidate the impact of talent management practices in banks on work engagement. Towards this aim, hypotheses have been formulated, and surveys have been conducted among bank employees to test these hypotheses. The data obtained have been analyzed using various statistical methods and testing techniques (Frequency Distribution, t-Test, ANOVA, Correlation, and Regression). A statistical significance level of p<0.05 has been adopted for the analyses. Consequently, it has been determined that there is a positive and significant relationship between talent management and work engagement, and furthermore, it has been observed that talent management practices enhance work engagement behavior.
