Abstract
This study responds to calls to examine the mechanism through which talent management
affects talented employees’ attitudes. Anchored on exchange theories, this study
examines a salient mechanism, perceived organisational support, through which talent
management practices might affect talented employees’ attitudes. Data were obtained
from a cross-sectional survey of 242 talented employees in the Ghanaian banking sector
and analysed with the use of the structural equation modelling analytical technique.
Our findings show that talent management has not only a direct effect, but also an
indirect effect, on talented employees’ attitudes of affective commitment and quit
intention through perceived organisational support. The study has implications for
the management of talented employees
