Orientation: Understanding the relationship between talent management, transformational leadership and work engagement from an automotive artisan perspective within South Africa.Research purpose: The purpose was to determine the relationship between talent management, transformational leadership and work engagement from an automotive artisan perspective within South Africa.Motivation of the study: Most talent management focuses on understanding the role of the manager, with very little research being dedicated to understanding the effect of talent management on work engagement and transformational leadership amongst South African artisans.Research approach/design and method: A survey was conducted amongst a non-probability sample of 609 artisans from a population of 1045 artisans. A quantitative research approach was used, and structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data.Main findings: The results showed that talent management acted as a mediator between the transformational leadership and work engagement of artisans in the automotive industry. There were positive relationships between talent management and work engagement and between talent management and transformational leadership, but not between transformational leadership and work engagement.Practical and managerial implications: A strategic approach should be implemented that will drive a talent management process with clear rewards and recognition for all stakeholders. This approach should be a part of the business rhythm, business agendas, organisational processes and culture of the industry. Should talent management, as a mediator, not form a part of work engagement and transformational leadership in the automotive industry, these variables will not function properly.Contribution/value addition: Talent management offers a bridge between the two variables of transformational leadership and work engagement. It was clear in this study that a focus on talent management within the automotive industry is pivotal.

Light weight materials which possess high strength and durability are being utilized by the automotive industry to increase fuel economy. Rapidly solidified (RS) Al alloys are currently being extensively studied for this purpose. In this investigation the microstructure of an extruded Al-8Fe-2Mo alloy, produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Goverment Products Div. was examined in a JE0L 2000FX AEM. Both electropolished thin sections, and extraction replicas were examined to characterize this material. The consolidation procedure for producing this material included a 9:1 extrusion at 340°C followed by a 16:1 extrusion at 400°C, utilizing RS powders which have also been characterized utilizing electron microscopy.
