Abstract

Abstract Although talent is considered imperative for gaining a competitive advantage, talent management programs’ effectiveness is unknown. It is believed that consensus on a strong theoretical underpinning for identifying talent and its general definition is yet to be achieved among academia and practitioners. This lack of integration and agreement on a single definition among scholars lead to more confusion which inhibits the advancement of talent management scholarship. The notion also requires renewed attention in the post-pandemic era because everything may not go back to normal as pre-pandemic. This study addresses the gap and focuses on reviewing the existing scholarship on talent definitions and its conceptualization in one place. The study also aims to present the potential implications of talent definition on talent management practices. Among the various implications discussed, it is argued that a single approach to talent definition makes the company vulnerable as it is not using the full potential of talent management. Finally, based on this in-depth review, the study will highlight potential critical research areas towards which the scholarship of talent may be extended.

谁是人才?人才定义对人才管理实践的启示

虽然人才被认为是获得竞争优势的必要条件，但人才管理方案的有效性尚不清楚。学术界和实践者对人才识别及其一般定义的强有力的理论基础尚未达成共识。学者之间对单一定义的缺乏整合和一致导致了更多的混乱，从而阻碍了人才管理学术的发展。在大流行后时代，这一概念也需要重新得到关注，因为一切都可能无法恢复到大流行前的正常水平。本研究解决了这一差距，并重点回顾了现有的学者对人才定义及其概念化的研究。本研究还旨在展示人才定义对人才管理实践的潜在影响。在讨论的各种影响中，有人认为，单一的人才定义方法会使公司变得脆弱，因为它没有充分利用人才管理的潜力。最后，在此深入回顾的基础上，本研究将突出人才奖学金可能扩展的潜在关键研究领域。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
