Abstract


Introduction: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of talent management on
organizational performance with the mediating role of knowledge absorptive capacity and
innovation capability.
Methods: This applied correlational study was conducted in 2019 with the participation of
106 people selected by a simple random method from nurses of hospitals affiliated to Qom
University of Medical Sciences. The face and content validity of the research tools were
confirmed by the use of standard questionnaires and the opinion of experts.
Results: The findings represented that the correlation between talent management variables
and knowledge absorptive capacity (t=2.13, r=0.83), talent management and innovation
capability (t=5.03, r=0.54), knowledge absorptive capacity with organizational performance
(t=3.48, r=0.80), innovation capability with the organization performance (t=3.53, r=0.72),
capability to absorb knowledge and innovation capability (t=6.97, r=0.78) and talent
management with organizational performance (t=3.19, r=0.86) was confirmed.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the organizational improvement depends on the
development and advancement of employees, so it is better to focus on talent management
to increase the innovation capability in employees by optimally influencing the capacity to
absorb knowledge as a set of organizational processes for acquiring, simulating, transferring
and extracting knowledge and take steps to improve productivity and increase organizational
performance
