Talent management in the public sector: empirical evidence from the Emerging Economy of Dubai
通过对迪拜公共部门34名高级人力资源经理的深度访谈、实地考察和文件分析,发现该地区公共部门的人才管理效果不佳且碎片化,为理论、实践和未来研究提供了启示。
Talent Management (TM) has attracted considerable attention across the globe and the challenges of managing talent effectively and delivering on strategic agendas is increasingly recognized. Yet TM has remained underexplored in emerging markets, particularly, in the public sector context. This research aims to fill the gap by exploring TM in the public sector of the emerging economy of Dubai. 34 in-depth interviews with senior human resource (HR) managers, field visits and extensive document reviews provide insights about TM practices and policies in the public sector. Our key findings indicate that TM in the public sector in Dubai is ineffective, and fragmented. Accordingly, we offer some potentially valuable implications for theory, practice, and future research.
