Since the process started with classical management theories in the management literature, the role and importance of human has always been the subject of discussion. Human who was seen as a machine before, has become the focus of the business with the technological developments. In today’s world where intense competition is experienced, talented employees and their engagement to the work is an indispensable element for companies. Accordingly, businesses have to apply various practices to select talented employees and keep them in the business. For this reason, businesses that want to include talented employees and ensure sustainability have started to focus on talent management practices. In this study, the effect of talent management practices on work engagement and mediating role of perceived supervisor support in this relationship were examined. In this context, consisting of a population of 6.710 people, 443 people working in a private bank were interviewed and the data obtained is analyzed under the SPSS 22 program. An important and positive mid-level relationship was observed between the sub-dimensions of talent management practices and work engagement and perceived supervisor support. In addition, it was concluded that an increase in employees’ positive perception of talent management practices increases the level of work engagement and that perceived supervisor support in this relationship is a partial mediator.
