Abstract

Smart talent management means effective or intelligent management of human resources, which includes the knowledge capital of an organization and the ability to produce, maintain, store, transfer and use knowledge in support of the organization to achieve its goals and objectives. The problem of the current research is what are the different dimensions and aspects of smart talent management and how to successfully integrate talent management and knowledge management. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to identify the dimensions and components of Smart talent management in Iranian government organizations. This research is practical in terms of its purpose and is considered as a mixed exploratory research. In the qualitative phase of this research, the theme analysis technique was used, and in the quantitative phase, the confirmatory factor analysis method and Smart PLS software were used. In the qualitative phase, in order to design the research model, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 31 academic and executive experts who were selected purposefully. In the quantitative stage, in order to confirm the validity of the model, 85 human resource managers in rubber manufacturing companies were consulted. The sampling method was a simple random type and the data collection tool was a questionnaire. Based on the findings, three categories of variables including guides, platforms and smart talent management measures were identified. Also, The findings of the quantitative section showed that the research variables are acceptable. The results of the research showed that intelligent talent management is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon and has differences in nature from talent management. The most important difference is the dynamic nature of smart talent management (considering the relatively static nature of talent management), which is due to the integration with knowledge management and the use of its capacities. Also, using the smart talent management approach in government organizations can bring many short-term and long-term effects and improve the quality level of human capital.
