Open access
In today’s competitive economy, organizations need to continuously invest in human capital. In the role of business partner, Human Resource (HR) leaders work closely with senior management to attract, hire, develop and retain talented employees. However, in Higher Learning Institution (HLI) sector, having a talented employee is compulsory since this industry is producing and creating a future leader. Link to that statement, higher education should consist of a talented employee of administration and academic division to work together to achieve mission and vision of the organization. Therefore, Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) has taken an initiative to implement Talent Management (TM) in the university system a few years back. Due to that reason, this study is being conducted to identify the effects of TM towards Performance Management (PM) in selected public universities in Malaysia. Three public universities have been selected in this study which was Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) and Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). Respondents were chosen based on the random sampling techniques and each university has 238 respondents. Information that has been collected will be analyzed by using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (IBM SPSS). As a result, these three universities revealed that TM towards PMhas showed a medium level of effects. Based on the results, the management of university should take an initiative to improve their current practices of TM to ensure PM of the organization will be increased.
