Abstract:

Today’s organizations need to take advantage of contemporary management concepts in order to be successful in the field and to be durable for a long time. The understanding of talent management is also one of these modern methods. In the understanding of talent management, skilled employees are awarded to the organization and employees are assigned according to their skills. Organizations need to activate practices that contribute positively to talent management in this direction.  Lead-member interaction is also one of the practices that have a positive impact on talent management and focuses on the interaction between managers and employees. This is why it can be said that both in the public and private sector organizations are beneficial in increasing the lead-member interaction. The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship between lead-member interaction and talent management and to show how lead-member interaction has an impact on talent management. In this context, data were collected through an survey of the staff of five public institutions located in the Ankara province (Ankara Provincial Health Directorate, Ankara Youth and Sports Directorate, Ankara Culture and Tourism Directorate, Ankara Provincial Labour Directorate, Ankara Environment and Urban Development Directorate). The study found that there was a meaningful and positive relationship between lead-member interaction and talent management.
