Talent Engagement Framework as a Journey to Performance

Abstract

This conceptual paper proposes a framework for engaging talents at work that leads to business performance. The framework is built on concepts that are evolving and they are defined in several, in many cases confusing, ways in the literature. The research methodology is literature review. Therefore, the paper starts with overviewing the concepts of the knowledge economy, skills, knowledge, talents, work engagement, and organizational performance. Then, the suggested framework is presented and discussed. The paper contributes to a better understanding of the underlining conditions and processes of value creation through talent engagement, calling for more discussion around this phenomenon.
