THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TALENT MANAGEMENT(TM), ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFORMATION (OT) AND ORGANIZATIONAL HEALTH (OH) AMONG UGANDAN UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between TM and OT as predictors of OH among universities. A sample population was chosen from six universities using simple random sampling technique .A cross sectional survey method was employed to attain data from the 820 randomly chosen respondents. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 22, and Amos version 22 to address the mediation and moderation causal relationships between TM and OT and avoid the low margin of error that could result due to running the same data many times. The findings reflected that talent management and organizational transformation are valid and reliable predictors of organizational health and have both direct and indirect casual influence towards one another. The mediation effect among the variables was partial since the value of Beta (0.6) was far higher than the indirect of relationship of TM and OT multiplied together. Lastly the moderation effect of staff academic levels among the variables that predict organizational health was statistically significant.
