Benefits Of An Effective Leadership Program EssayJessica Lopez
Tanglewood is a large retail company with stores across 12 regions locally and overseas. As many senior employees retire, Tanglewood must develop a talent management strategy to fill vacated leadership roles. An effective strategy would identify and develop high-potential employees internally and implement training programs to prepare them for promotion. A standardized approach across regions is needed while allowing for cultural differences locally. Attracting and retaining talented staff globally will help Tanglewood compete internationally.
Human resources (HR) must be acknowledged and recognized as an organization’s most valuable asset
and the driving force in creating and sustaining competitive advantage in the global marketplace. Challenges of
ineffective planning, management, and application of HR functions have been the major issues affecting the rate
of employee turnover in organizations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of HR management
practices on tertiary institution performance in Ondo State, Nigeria. A sample size of 327 was taken from a
population of 1776 using Taro Yamane’s (1964) formula, and a stratified sampling technique was adopted. The
questionnaire was recovered in 324 copies, accounting for 99.08% of the total for analysis. The data were analyzed
through ordinary least square (OLS) regression, and it was found that the calculated t-statistics score of 1.645 is less
than the t-statistics score of the four hypotheses. The null hypotheses were rejected, while alternative hypotheses of
2.127 and 2.483 were accepted. According to the findings of the study, HR management practices have a significant
impact on the performance of higher education institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria. It is suggested that effective
planning, well-managed implementation, and a policy free of tribalism and nepotism—a policy free of bias—will
create a competitive advantage and positively impact the performance of tertiary institutions, particularly Rufus
Giwa Polytechnic, Owo.

The document discusses emerging trends in talent management practices for new economy organizations. These trends are being shaped by factors like the rise of new economy organizations, changing worker aspirations, expanding opportunities, and a shortage of skilled talent. Effective talent management is critical for these organizations' success as it allows them to attract, retain, and utilize high quality talent. Past talent practices focused on lifetime employment are no longer suitable given today's dynamic workforce which expects short-term assignments and a more transactional relationship with employers. New talent practices must align with these new professional values and address challenges like balancing collaboration and competitiveness. The study examines the impact of high performance talent management practices on organizational outcomes like productivity and financial performance.
The document discusses the need for pragmatic HR initiatives in banks in the post-liberalization era in India. It notes that globalization and deregulation have increased competition in the banking sector. While early reforms focused on financial changes, more attention must now be paid to developing human resources to gain a competitive advantage. The summary identifies key HR issues that have emerged, like the need for specialized skills, and argues that initiatives should align with the environment, determine needed skills, allocate resources efficiently, cut costs through outsourcing, and develop a market culture. HR must be strategically linked to business goals for banks to adapt and survive the new challenges.
An Effectiveness Of Human Resource Management Practices On Employee Retention...Brittany Brown
This document summarizes a study that examines the relationship between various human resource management practices (employee empowerment, training and development, compensation, and performance appraisal) and employee retention at a university in Malaysia. The study distributed questionnaires to 278 university lecturers to understand how they view the importance of these practices for retention. A regression analysis found that training and development, compensation, and performance appraisal were significantly related to retention, but employee empowerment was not. The results suggest that training, compensation, and performance management are key considerations for retaining university lecturers in Malaysia.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Keywords: Organizational Culture, Talent Management, Training and development
I. INTRODUCTION
In today‘s rapidly moving, dynamic, uncertain and highly competitive global markets, firms worldwide
are facing major decisions and challenges in global talent management(Schuler, Jackson, & Tarique, 2011).For
organizations across the globe, talent management of knowledge workers and high potentials is of increasing
strategic importance (Tymon et al., 2010; Vaiman, 2010) (Tymon, Strumpf, & Doh, 2010). Indeed, there has
been growing interest in talent management among senior managers and academics alike since the late 1990s
when McKinsey consultants coined the phrase ―the war for talent‖ to underscore the key role of leaders and high
potentials played in the success of leading companies (Boudreau & Ramstad, 2007) The next generation of
talent management practices and solutions will largely be driven by economic evolution, demographic changes,
and technology advancements. These factors are dramatically influencing the way people work, the way
companies are organized, and the way talent is managed (McDonnell, 2011).
The key factors driving changes in talent management are: the knowledge economy, Globalization,
Skills gaps and structural unemployment, Generational geographies, Contextual Factors, Teacher Competency
and Student Engagement. The transition to a knowledge economy has transformed the way we value
Organizations. Talent is now a required strategic asset. Key changes in the future include a continued blurring of
the line between inside and outside talent that will result in an expansion of the talent management scope.
Globalization in European expansion is well-known; the top expansion prospects for global companies now
include China, Russia and Eastern Europe, Mexico and South America, and the rest of Asia. This continued
expansion provides both challenges and opportunities around talent utilization, diversity, and risk management
(Scullion & Collings, 2011) A recent report by the Boston Consulting Group highlighted talent management as
one of five key challenges facing the HR profession in the European context and, interestingly, that it was also
one of the areas which the function was least competent in (Boston Consulting Group, 2007).Talent
management is likely to be a challenge for organizations in all the major economies right across the world, with
recent research suggesting that talent management challenges may even be more acute in the emerging
markets(Vaiman, 2010).

(Gupta, 2006)Indicate that in the era, where global business is talk of town, every employer has to be
ready for meeting the future business demands, which can be efficiently handled through talent management.
Talent management is gaining popularity as a significant predictor of employee and business performance. It
refers to integration of new workers, developing and retaining existing workers as well as attracting experienced
and qualified persons to work for organization.
Neglect of talent management is suicidal for the organization particularly in the current business
scenario of high competition. Opportunities to qualified and talented employees are abundant due to expansion
of higher education and coming up of a large number of institutes promoting professional courses in various
streams (Joerres & Turcq, 2007).Sears (2003) suggests that among the innovations that have swept through the
world of management during the past two decades, talent management and knowledge management have
probably aroused the greatest interest and made the biggest impact. The concept of talent management as a
process of ensuring that the organization has the talented people it requires only emerged in the late 1990s.it has
now been recognized as a major resourcing activity (Armstrong, 2009).The development and implementation of
a talent management strategy requires high quality management and leadership from the top and from senior
managers and the HR function as suggested by (Younger, Small Wood, & Ulvich, 2007).
The approaches required involve emphasizing growth from within, regarding talent, development as a
key element of the business strategy, being clear about the competences and qualities that matter, maintaining
well defined career paths, taking management development, coaching and mentoring very seriously and
demanding high performance. According to Pfeffer (2001), fighting the war of talent itself can cause problems.
Companies that adopt a talent war mindset often wind up venerating outsiders and downplaying the talent
already in the company. According to Armstrong (2009) attraction and retention policies are important elements
of talent management. These policies and programs describe the approach to ensuring that the organization both
gets and keeps the talent it needs. Attraction policies leads to programs for external resourcing .retention
policies are designed to ensure that people remain as committed members of the organization. The outcome of
these policies is a talent flow that creates and maintains the talent pool.
Talent management has been recognized by many authors as an important human recourse practice in
the retention of employees. Retaining talented employees has become one of the major priorities of
organizations and the key differentiator for human capital management. In today‘s rapidly moving dynamic,
uncertain and highly competitive global markets, firms worldwide are facing major decisions and challenges in
the global talent management. Companies are discovering that, not only is it becoming increasingly difficult to
recruit top talent, but that they are running the constant risk of losing the ones they have to competitors.
Consequently talent management is now viewed as a tool to strengthen organizational capability through
individual development, performance enhancement, career development and succession planning. In Kenya,
many organizations have not yet embraced the concept of talent management and thus face critical challenges in
recruitment and retaining of talented staff. Talent management is crucial because expertise is a ‗must ‗for
proficient performance. n Kenya, the talent management domain is not given much emphasis within the public
sector and this has lowered the level of employees‘ retention by 30% in Teachers Service Commission
II. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
(Collings, 2011)States that talent management is aimed at improving the caliber, availability and
flexible utilization of exceptionally capable employees who can have a disproportionate impact on business
performance. Strategic talent management is an approach that manages all human resource programs:
recruitment, selection, placement, development, evaluation, tenure, promotion, dismissal, and compensation,
around a set of effectiveness metrics that capture instructional practice and student-learning growth. The theory
is that effective principals should manage schools in ways that facilitate teachers‘ acquiring the instructional
expertise they need to make them and the school effective; that is to say, successful in dramatically boosting
student learning.
This has therefore created a wide knowledge gap on talent management implementation and hence
created a need to conduct a study on factors affecting implementation of talent management in the Teachers
Service Commission in Kenya. This research therefore sought to analyze selected factors that influenced talent
management of Teachers Service Commission in Kenya in the public secondary schools with specific reference
to Nyandarua west Sub- County and will include Organizational culture, Training and Development, workplace
environment and retention strategies

will enable them to design appropriate policies on talent management.
The scope of the Study
This study was carried out in Public secondary schools in Nyandarua West Sub County. The Sub
County has 25 public secondary schools. The study targeted non-teaching staff, teachers and principals in the
sampled schools in the Sub County.
Literature Review
The study was based on McGregor's X-Y Theories Theory X and Theory Y pertain to employee
motivation and have been used in human resource management, organizational development and organizational
behavior analysis. An Integrated Human Capital and Talent Management tool is based on such theories and
helps organizations to transform their human resource practices Cole, (2007).
Organizational Culture
Organizational culture is a set of shared assumptions that guide what happens in organizations by
defining appropriate behavior for various situations. It is also the pattern of such collective behaviors and
assumptions that are taught to new organizational members as a way of perceiving and, even, thinking and
feeling. Thus, organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients,
and with stakeholders. In addition, organizational culture may affect how much employees identify with an
organization (Ravasi & Schultz, 2006).
Organizational culture represents the collective values, beliefs and principles of organizational
members and is a product of such factors as history, product, market, technology, and strategy, type of
employees, management style, and national culture. Culture includes the organization's vision, values, norms,
systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits. Organizational culture is the behavior of humans
within an organization and the meaning that people attach to those behaviors (Needle, 2010).
Deal & Kennedy(2000) advanced the idea that organizations often have very differing cultures as well
as subcultures. Although a company may have its "own unique culture", in larger organizations there are
sometimes co-existing or conflicting subcultures because each subculture is linked to a different management
team. Organizational culture refers to culture in any type of organization including that of schools, universities,
not-for-profit groups, government agencies, or business entities. In business, terms such as corporate culture and
company culture are sometimes used to refer to a similar concept (Deal & Kennedy, 2000).
The Organizational Cultural Profile (OCP), a model developed by O‘Reilly, Chatman & Caldwell in
1991is a self-reporting tool which makes distinctions according seven categories - Innovation, Stability, and
Respect for People, Outcome Orientation, and Attention to Detail, Team Orientation, and
Aggressiveness(Bruning, 2015). The model is also suited to measure how organizational culture effects
organizational performance, as it measures most efficient persons suited in an organization and as such
organizations can be termed as good organizational culture. Employee values are measured against
organizational values to predict employee intentions to stay, and predict turnover. This is done through
instrument like Organizational Culture Profile (OCP) to measure employee commitment.
Daniel Denison‘s model asserts that organizational culture can be described by four general dimensions –
Mission, Adaptability, Involvement and Consistency. Each of these general dimensions is further described by
the following three sub-dimensions:
Denison‘s model also allows cultures to be described broadly as externally or internally focused as well as
flexible versus stable. The model has been typically used to diagnose cultural problems in organizations
(Denison Consulting, 2015).
Training and Development
Training and development is the primary objective of human resource management. As keep (1989) realized
that one of the primary objectives of human resource management is the creation of conditions whereby the latent
potential of employees will be realized and their commitment to the causes of the organizations secured. This latent
potential is taken to include, not merely the capacity to acquire and utilize new skills and knowledge, but also a hitherto

untapped wealth of ideas about how the organizations operations might be better ordered.- Dossier (1997) says that
training gives new or present employees the skills they need to perform their jobs Training focuses on skills needed
to perform employees‘ current jobs its aim is to develop current or future employees for future jobs with the
organization or to solve an organizational problem concerning, for instance, poor interdepartmental communication.
The same signal was conveyed by Pedaretal (1989) who emphasized on the creation of learning organization. They
argued that a "learning organization is one which facilitates the learning of all its members and continually transforms it".
Handy (1989) described a learning organization as one that both learns and encourages learning in people. It creates a
space for people to question, think and learn, and constantly reframe the world and their part in it. The learning
organization according to Handy needs to have a formal way of asking question, seeking out theories and
reflecting on them.
Training reduces the need for constant and close supervision; thus it helps in A teacher who believes in
effective class room time management will always make a proper plan for the time to be spent in the class and
will avoid late coming as this gives the student time to build noise level which takes time to subside and is thus
a time waster. A good time management teacher would always tell the rules and regulations to the students to be
followed in the class room along with the expected behavior (Nakasule, 2005).
Workplace environment
This is well taken care of by the factories and other places of work Act, Cap 514 of the laws of Kenya. The
objective is to make provision for health, safety and welfare of persons employed in factories and other places and
for matters incidental thereto and connected there with. In terms of health, parts IV (sections 13-20) of the act provides
that health of workers and environs are taken care of. In particular the working floors and benches must be kept
clean while walls need be painted, each employee should have a workroom of at least 350 cubic feet of space and the
work room should be not less than 9 feet in height.If employees are not provided with proper working conditions,
they may opt to seek opportunities where conditions are conducive in terms of health, safety and welfare so as to be in
a position to produce optimally and develop their capabilities. An organization's working conditions for its employees
are very crucial issue that should be properly administered (Tyson & York, 2001).
Retention Strategies.
Employee Retention refers to the ability of an Organization to retain its employees. Employees
retentions can be represented by simple statistic (for example, a retention rate of 80% usually indicate that an
Organization kept 80% of its employees in a given period). However, many consider employee retention as
relating to the efforts by which employers attempt to retain employees in their workforce. In this sense, retention
becomes the strategies rather than the outcome.All high performance environments share a serious devotion to
results. They‘re competitive, stressful workplaces where mediocrity is disdained and failure intolerable.
Moreover, individuals who thrive in these environments tend to be players with intense ambition and they are
always on the lookout for greener pastures. The challenge is often how companies approach retention —
reactively. Retention issues are ignored until the company suspects an employee might bail, at which point it‘s
addressed by offering the employee some kind of enticement to stay, and then it‘s back to business as usual.
This approach might work in the short-run, but does nothing to cultivate longer-term loyalty. A better approach
is to address retention proactively, as a strategic issue. I recently connected with two thought leaders in talent
management strategy to discuss how to do this in high performance environments. Based on our conversation,
here are five things any organization can do to proactively combat turnover.
2.8. School contextual factors and teacher competency
Schools function as a system with various layers (Sterny, 2012). These layers include; classrooms, the
school, the neighborhood or the community and city or area where the school is located hence form the school
contextual factors which directly or indirectly influence the way a teacher performs his or her duties. School
contextual factors that are not supportive, such as poor administrative leadership and the quality of the school
building, are associated with reduced teacher ability to play his or her roles within and outside the school
(Buckley, et al., 2005; Lee, et al., 1991; Tye&O‟Brien, 2002). According to Ingersoll, (2002) schools with high
poverty levels experience a 20% of teachers being unable to attend to their students and hence some of them end
up permanently leaving the schools which affects teachers‘ levels of competency of those teachers that have
remained in the school. Ostroff also puts it that school contextual factors provide high levels of motivation to
teachers which enable teachers to become more effective and competent, (Ostroff, 2013).
Boe, Cook, & Sunderland(2008), further stipulates that teachers working in schools with high levels of
stress are more likely to miss days of work, which could potentially lead to falling behind in the curriculum
hence reducing teacher competencies. This stress causes teachers dissatisfaction thereby negatively affecting
teacher‘s morale and ultimately resulting into reduced motivation and competencies of staff (Ostroff, 1992).
Talent management and school contextual factors
Research on the relationship between talent management and school contextual factors Imazeki,
(2005), stipulates that teacher retention is higher when school contextual factors such as school policies can
allow an offer of higher salaries to their teachers. These findings also match with findings by
5. An Analysis of Selected Factors Influencing Talent Management in Public Secondary
www.ijhssi.org 94 | Page
Ingersoll,(Ingersoll, 2001), who puts it that ―teacher turnover is higher in schools with low salaries, poor support
from school administration, student discipline problems, and limited capability input into school decision
making, even after controlling for student composition, school level, and school location. Grissom, (2008),
further puts it that principal leadership, an orderly schooling environment, greater classroom autonomy, and
increased professional development is associated with lower teacher turnover.
Talent management and teacher competency
According to the study by Hammond(2001) there was a substantial linkage between good student results and
qualified and trained teachers. The study also showed a substantially negative linkage between student results
obtained by untrained teachers, who were comparatively new on the jobs. In addition, (Fetler, 2000) also
expressed the view that teachers with short training did not perform well, when compared with those who were
fully trained and had longer job experience.
A joint study by Harvard University and the Academy of Education, (2006) indicated that level of training
obtained by a teacher contributed to rise in obtaining marks in Mathematics for students in grades four and five.
The performance of a teacher before the class is dependent on training provided to him. To assess how effective
is the teaching, one, has to look at the performance of teacher in the class and the attitude of the instructor in
teacher training establishments. The output of teacher is dependent on his knowledge and ability. The effective
teaching process is thus dependent on professional training and learning (Glasser, 2010).

The study was carried out in Nyandarua West Sub-county which is in Nyandarua County as the case study.
Target Population
The target population was the Principals, Deputy Principals and non-teaching staff of Nyandarua
West Sub - County. Teachers and Subordinate staff of all grades regardless of the status were considered.
The population of teaching staff was selected on the basis of their work experience in the Teachers Service
Commission. All teachers who have a teaching experience of at least 3 years will have an equal chance of
being selected under the population study. The target population was as in the table below.
Sampling Technique and Sample Size
Stratified Random Sampling and Purposive sampling method were applied in arriving at the sample size.
Table 2: sample size
Source; D.E.O office (2015):
Data Sources
Both primary and secondary sources were captured during the study. The primary data was captured
using the self-administered questionnaires to both teachers and non-teaching staff while the secondary sources
was captured using the documented data in form of certificate awards given for good performance of their
duties.
Research instruments
The following research instruments were used in the study: Observation scheduleQuestionnaire and interview
schedule
Piloting
The researcher came up with a sample of a questionnaire that was used to collect the data, give them to his
friends to have a check on it so that they could give opinion about its validity. This was done before actual
research.
Validity of the instrument
M The researcher used a wide-range of research for the secondary data and the author believes that the
most relevant and valuable theory and data have been included in this dissertation. The author believes that with
help of the interviews with the persons who have a lot of experience in supply chain management will
considered and a rather comprehensive analysis has been made with the help of both practical and theoretical
knowledge.
Reliability of the instrument
A standardized questionnaire about the ways to improve the response time of the supply chain was to
be prepared in order to avoid the threat of observer bias. When conducting the semi-structured interviews with
the respondent from the management of the schools and considering the complexity of the propositions, the
researcher decided to explain them and to make sure each respondent understood what was meant by each
prepositions. The researcher explained the prepositions based on their understanding from the contemporary
literature and their own experience. However the researcher could not guarantee that all respondents understood
the variables in the same way. Furthermore, the research assumed that the respondents have different levels of
professional/industrial knowledge. The respondents may have different levels of ability to understand English.
The researcher believed that this was a crucial factor for understanding the variables in the same way as the
researcher
Data Analysis
Both quantitative and qualitative techniques were used in the study consisting of group observations,
interviews, and surveys to gather information. These methods were most appropriate because of the complexity
involved. The researcher analyzed the data using MS Excel spread sheet program. Tables, charts and graphs
were used to simplify and clarify the quantitative data. Qualitative data which is non-numerical was taken into
account regarding the respondent‘s feelings, opinions, statements and suggestions. By using these methods the
researcher was able to understand underlying factors that influence talent management in public Secondary
Schools. The data collected by the various instruments was thoroughly reviewed and checked for completeness
and comprehensibility. This involved descriptive statistics to describe or summarize the information and
transform raw data to understandable and interpretable information. The findings will then be interpreted, and
presented, in line with the objectives of the study.

The study conducted a descriptive analysis so as to assess factors influencing talent management in
public secondary schools‘employees within Nyandarua west sub county, Kenya The four variables as per the
SPSS generated table above, the equation (talent management= β0 + β1 Organization culture+ β2 training and
development strategies+ β3 work Environment + β4 retention strategies + ε) becomes: Y= 0.868+0.080 X1+
0.177X2+ 0.229 X3 + 0.200 X4 Where Y is the dependent variable (factors influencing talent management in
public secondary schools‘employees), X1 is the Organization culture variable, X2 is training and development
Strategies, X3 is work environment and X4 is retention strategies variable. The possible value of Y when all
independent variables are equal to zero is 0.868. At 5% level of significance and 95% level of confidence,
organization culture showed a 0.757 level of significance, training and development strategies showed a 0.498
level of significance, work place environment showed a 0.373 level of significance while retention strategy
showed a 0.301 level of significance. Therefore it is concluded that Organization culture factors comes out as
the factor which has more significant of them all.
IV. CONCLUSION
Based on the findings, it can be concluded that in Nyandarua West Sub county Secondary schools
organizational culture, retention strategy, training and development and working environment are factors
affecting talent management.Based on the findings, it can be concluded that in public secondary schools
organizational culture is one of the factors affecting talent management. Tyson and York (1996) have noted the
diversity of traditions in which corporate culture has been featured, including high trust work relations,
empowerment and employee involvement, innovative team working organizational learning and
transformational leadership Secondly it was further concluded that retention strategy was also a factor affecting
talent management. Lent and Brown, (2006) observed that Employee perspective, job security assurance,
behaviors, understanding, personality and environmental factors function together and may offer the
opportunity to assist people to become as satisfied with their careers as nature and environmental factors support
In addition, the respondents strongly agreed that training and development is a factors affecting talent
management in public secondary schools. Mullins (2007) states that the philosophy of extrinsic rewards which
is originated from the term ―utilitarianism‖ and suggests that people‘s behaviors are modifiable, by in case
extrinsic rewards their performance could be enhanced, while in comparison with ―utilitarianism‖, the term
―Romanticism‖ refers to intrinsic motivation that boosts the innovation and creativity of the workers.
Finally most of respondents strongly agreed that working environment was a factor affecting talent
management in public secondary schools. According to Yeung (2008), work environment preferences can be
measured using three dimensions of work environment settings: goal orientation, relationship dimensions and
system maintenance. This implied that most of the respondents agreed with the statements about the
organizational culture, retention strategy, training and development and working environment affects talent
management in public secondary schools in Nyandarua County.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS
The study recommends that organizations culture of the schools should promote employees talents,
since it‘s relevant towards enhancing talent management, and also culture impacts positively on talent
management. According to Johnson and Schools, (2010), within any organizational culture, is what makes
organizations. On the basis of training and development, the study recommended that the schools should
encourage more of its employees to further their education by enrolling in institutions of higher learning in order
to achieve the required development objectives and the range of competencies, knowledge and skills which are
necessary to meet effectively the career development needs.
The study recommends that proper retention strategies should be practiced in the county‘s public
secondary schools, which is the practice of improving and retaining overall personal and organizational
performance by developing and promoting responsible tools and professional expertise, and by advocating an
effective enabling environment for people and organizations to embrace a culture of sustainable development.
The schools should put in place strategies that motivate the employees more than the extrinsic rewards that are
job security, salary, working environment among others. According to Cantalanello and Kirkpatrick, (2004)
objectives of 43 career success are the work experience outcomes, such as status and salary promotions that are
objectively observable. Pertaining to working environment, the study recommended that the schools should
ensure that their work environment preferences can be measured using three dimensions of work environment
settings: goal orientation, relationship dimensions and System maintenance
5.5 Recommendation for Further Study
The objective of the study was to analyze factors affecting talent management to employees in public secondary
schools with specific reference to schools in Nyandarua west Sub County. Further research should also be
conducted to assess the challenge affecting talent management in the public sector with reference to schools in
Nyandarua west Sub County.
