Abstract
Purpose: The limited research conducted (scientific articles published in indexed journals) belies the interest that the talent matrix has in the business world. It is for this reason that the present work has been carried out, the aim of which is to create and validate a survey. The scores obtained reflect the positions of employees on the talent matrix, which will make it possible to place the evaluated subjects according to a quantitative criterion. Design/methodology: The participants were 172 employees from different companies who were evaluated by middle management.64.9% were men, and 35.1% were women. The research is framed within the “Instrumental studies” methodology, having used a non-probabilistic convenience sampling technique. Findings: An 8-item survey has been developed on which the performance, potential and total scores allow us to quantitatively place the employees in the different boxes on the talent matrix. This serves to establish the human capital of the company and to facilitate staff replacements or promotions. Practical implications: A validated instrument is provided to determine quickly and easily the talent of the human capital, on both an individual and a group level, which will permit decision-making for personnel management. Social implications: The use of a quantitative instrument improves the perception of fairness on the part of businesses, and therefore improves the organizational climate. Originality/value: The research is aimed and we believe would be of interest to Human Resource professionals, since it provides them with a tool that can be used to evaluate the talent of employees.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
