Abstract

This study aims to identify the research trends in 155 empirical studies addressing the topic of "Macro Talent Management" between 2010 and 2021. Articles are evaluated in terms of subject, method, analysis techniques, and other trends. The articles were examined using Scopus and Web of Science databases and analyzed with the Nvivo qualitative data analysis program. The findings of the research emerged in the context of human capital mobility, talent development, and the impact of macro talent management on socio-economic processes. Relevant studies show that macro-level talent management processes are related to socio-economic and cultural factors affecting human capital mobility. In addition, it is found that mobility affects the development indicators of countries and regions. Another finding is that the overall impact of talent management on macro-level innovation development has been examined, but the impact on individual countries’ innovation activities has not been considered. For talent development to be successful in a country, collaborative efforts between institutions and government are required. In conclusion, the research results are evaluated in light of the findings obtained, and suggestions are made for future studies.

Makro Yetenek Yönetimi Üzerine Bir Literatür Taraması

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 2010-2021 arasında "Makro Yetenek Yönetimi" konusunu ele alan 155 ampirik çalışmanın araştırma eğilimlerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Makaleler, konu, yöntem, analiz teknikleri ve diğer eğilimler açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Scopus ve Web of Science veri tabanları kullanılarak makaleler incelenmiş ve Nvivo nitel veri analizi programı ile analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları, insan sermayesi hareketliliği, yetenek gelişimi ve makro yetenek yönetiminin sosyo-ekonomik süreçler üzerindeki etkileri bağlamında ortaya çıkmıştır. İlgili çalışmalar, makro düzeyde yetenek yönetimi süreçlerinin, beşerî sermaye hareketliliği üzerinde etkili olan sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel faktörlerle ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, hareketliliğin ülke ve bölgelerin gelişmişlik göstergelerini etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bir diğer bulgu, yetenek yönetiminin makro düzeyde inovasyon gelişimi üzerindeki etkisinin, genel olarak incelenmiş olup, tek tek ülkelerin inovasyon faaliyetleri üzerindeki etkisi dikkate alınmamıştır. Yetenek gelişiminin ülkede başarılı olabilmesi için, kurumlar ve hükümet arasında iş birliği odaklı çalışmaların yapılması gerekmektedir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, elde edilen bulgular ışığında araştırma sonuçları değerlendirilmiş ve gelecek çalışmalar için öneriler sunulmuştur.
