Purpose- One of the most important internal resources of the organizations are talented employees. It is very important to invest in talented employees which is a value-created resource for the organizations because in the long run it provides sustainable competitive advantage and high performance. This study aims to fill the gap through conceptualizing and developing a talent management measurement instrument. Methodology- We established a scale incorporating six dimensions of talent management. Data were then collected from 313 owners=executives of the textile apparel companies and analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis to assess validity and reliability. Findings- We have attempted to contribute to business executives and academics by providing a valid and reliable talent management scale. Conclusion- In general, studies have lacked a commonly accepted measurement instrument that comprises all components of talent management. Our study in its originality provided a talent management scale which the validity and reliability analyses are tested through both SPSS and AMOS programs.
