Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between talent management and organisational performance in the hospitality sector in Bayelsa and Delta states Nigeria. The study used a survey research approach to look at the connection between talent management and organisational performance. The study’s total population comprised of 370 employees of the selected hospitality firms in Bayelsa and Delta States, Nigeria. However, due to the size of the population, the sample size was equal to the total population. Three hundred and seventy (370) copies of questionnaire were administered to the study respondents out of which three hundred and fifty five (355) were fully retrieved and completed. Data obtained from the study respondents were analyzed by means of descriptive, correlation and simple linear regression analysis via SPSS version 23. The findings of the correlation analysis unveiled that all the dimensions of talent management (talent attraction, talent development, talent retention and performance appraisal) used in the study are all positively and significantly correlated with organisational performance. Also, the regression analysis showed that all the dimensions of talent management have a positive effect on organisational performance. Based on the findings, recommendations were made in the study.
