The Impact

The Malawi government established and implemented various talent management practices within public hospitals in the country to enhance accessibility, productivity and energy of its health personnel, and to boost the quality of health service delivery. Innovative work behaviours such as the creation, introduction and application of new ideas are key to achieving productivity, accessibility and energy of health personnel. The sure way of achieving innovative work behaviour is through the implementation of talent management. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of talent management on innovative work behaviour of registered nurses in public hospitals of Malawi. A quantitative research approach was employed, and an adapted Innovative Work Behaviour Questionnaire (IWB) was administered to a convenience sample of 947 (N=947) registered nurses in public hospitals of Malawi. The results of the study showed that talent management practices did not contribute to innovative work behaviour of registered nurses in public hospitals of Malawi. The study, therefore, recommends that management of public hospitals should pay attention to effective talent management practices of healthcare workers, particularly that of nurses in public hospitals. The implication of this study to management in public hospitals is that the results can be used to improve the application of talent management practices at healthcare facilities and help to advance innovative work behaviour of healthcare workers.

The Impact

Orientation: Job satisfaction is the paramount tool to gauge whether employees are willing to stay or leave an organisation. Talent management as a key aspect of human resources management has a fundamental role to play in ensuring that employees are satisfied with their work so that they can stay within the organisation.Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of talent management on job satisfaction of registered nurses in public hospitals of Malawi.Motivation for study: There is a need for scientific knowledge concerning the connection between talent management and job satisfaction of registered nurses in public hospitals of Malawi as limited studies have been conducted in the Malawian context despite the nursing profession witnessing a dire voluntary attrition of nurses leading to severe shortages of nurses.Research approach/design and method: The study uses a quantitative design by way of a cross - sectional survey method to determine the impact of talent management practices on job satisfaction of registered nurses. Data were collected from a sample of 834 registered nurses from the four main public hospitals of Malawi that were purposively selected. An adapted version of Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) combined with Human Capital Index questionnaire was administered to 834 nurses. Finally, 580 responses were found to be acceptable for analysis.Main findings: The findings of the study demonstrate that talent management practices do not contribute towards job satisfaction of registered nurses in Malawian public hospitals. Regression analysis indicated that amongst nine elements of talent management practices, the predictors that are most effective in predicting the job satisfaction of registered nurses include, staffing, talent development and talent deployment.Practical/managerial implication: The results of this study underscore the problematic nature of implementing talent management practices in public hospitals of Malawi. Management of public hospitals should appreciate these results as poor talent management practices can reduce job satisfaction among employees.Contribution/value add: The findings, therefore, add to the body of knowledge on how talent management practices can contribute to job satisfaction.

The Impact

<p>Organisations are facing significant challenges to retain Generation Y employees. Research shows that, once these individuals are employed, they are not likely to remain in that position for very long. Organisations therefore need to find innovative solutions to retain this group of employees. The purpose of this research was to determine the causal relationship between management support towards talent management and the impact thereof on the turnover intentions of Generation Y employees. The Human Capital Index, Perceived Organisational Support Questionnaire, Perceived Organisational Support and Intention to Quit questionnaires were administered among a convenience sample of generation Y employees (N=135). The results showed that Perceived Organisational Support is significantly related to Talent management practices, Perceived Supervisor Support and Intention to Quit. Perceived Supervisor Support is significantly related to Talent management practices and Intention to Quit. Talent management practices are significantly related to intention to quit. Recommendations are made.</p>

Nurses Perceptions

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate nurses’ perception towards the current application of talent management practices in Malawian public hospitals. It further explores whether significant differences exist between the registered nurses’ perceptions of the current application of talent management practices based on their demographic factors.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative research approach, using a cross-sectional survey strategy. An adapted version of Human Capital Index (HCI) questionnaire with 45-items was administered amongst 947 registered nurses in four public hospitals. Eventually, 580 responses, representing 61.2 per cent were found to be acceptable for analysis. Stata version-16 software programme was used to analyse the data.FindingsFindings of the study demonstrated that talent management practices are currently poorly applied amongst the nurses. Substantial gaps existed between the current applications versus the importance of talent management practices. Significant differences exist between the nurses perceptions of talent management practices based on their marital status.Research limitations/implicationsThe study only focused on a single perspective (registered nurses) and a single area (Malawian public hospitals) – an issue that disregarded different views (e.g. doctors, hospital administrators, hospital directors and other hospital staff). Furthermore, the results of this study cannot be generalised to other public and private hospitals settings because the data were collected from central hospitals only.Practical implicationsPractically, this study highlights the problematic areas of talent management practices hence the need for effective talent management for nurses.Social implicationsThe study has huge social implications in that the results will inform best practices for public hospitals thereby improving welfare of the patients and society at large.Originality/valueThe study contributes to new knowledge on nurses’ perception towards the application of talent management practices within the Malawian health sector and presents a valid and reliable measure to assess their perception.

Innovative Work Behaviour

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of talent management practices on Employee Innovative Work Behavior in project-based organizations. The study also examined the moderating effect of Transformational Leadership between talent management practices and Employee Innovative Work Behavior. The data was collected from project-based organizations like software houses, construction companies, and NGOs in Peshawar city. The convenience sampling technique was used to gather the data. For this purpose, a total of 220 questionnaires were distributed, and 201responses were recorded. The Preacher and Hayes process macro was adopted to check the moderating effect. The results of the study suggest that Transformational leadership strongly moderates the relationship between talent management practices and employee innovative work behavior. This research has a significant contribution to the project management domain. The study has some limitations and as the cross-sectional method was used for data collection. Future research directions were also suggested like, different sectors such as manufacturing firms, the health sector, the educations sector, the banking sector, and the telecommunication sector, etc can also be the target for generalization of results. Keywords: Talent Management Practice (TMP), Employee Innovative Work Behaviour (EIWB), Transformational Leadership (TL).

The Impact

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of innovative work behaviour between compensation system, training and development, information sharing, supervisory support, and job performance among physicians in Iraqi public hospitals. The researcher conducted the study via online questionnaire with a sample size of 173 physicians in Iraqi public hospitals. The data analysis was done via SPSS (or commonly known as Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), IBM SPSS Statistics 23 and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) (PLS). The data analysis meant to conduct demographic profile of respondents and mean of variables, factor analysis, reliability analysis to measure the repeatability of measuring instrument and regression analysis for hypothesis testing of independent and mediating variables. Results showed that training and development and supervisory support have a positive significant impact on physician’s innovative work behaviour. Compensation system and information sharing have a negative impact on physician’s innovative work behaviour. Innovative work behaviour mediates the relationship between training and development, supervisory support, and job performance. While compensation system and information sharing were not a significant mediating.

PurposeThe study aims to examine the relationship between innovative work behaviour (IWB) and JP amongst physicians in Iraq public hospitals. The study also determines the effects of creative self-efficacy (CSE) and humble leadership (HL) on IWB. Besides, the study investigates the mediating role of IWB on the relationship between CSE and JP as well as between HL and JP.Design/methodology/approachA total of 332 respondents participated in the survey, although 173 responses were utilised after data screening. The study employs the structural equation modelling via partial least squares (PLS-SEM) to ascertain the relationship between the variables.FindingsEvidence from the study indicates that IWB has a positive relationship with JP, whilst CSE and HL are significant determinants of IWB amongst physicians in Iraq public hospitals. The study provides evidence that IWB plays a positive mediating role in the relationship between CSE and JP as well as between HL and JP amongst physicians in Iraq public hospitals.Originality/valueThe study implies that the JP of physicians in Iraq public hospitals can be enhanced by IWB, whilst the latter can be improved by CSE and HL. The influences of CSE and HL on JP can be boosted by IWB. Hence, efforts to promote IWB should be vigorously pursued by Iraq public hospitals to foster the physicians' JP.
