Abstract:

This study examines the relationship between the adaptability trait of organizational culture, talent management and organizational trust. The mediation effect of talent management on the relationship between the adaptability trait of organizational culture and organizational trust is analyzed. The adaptability trait of organizational culture covers customer focus, creating change and organizational learning. Talent management is based on four main dimensions: employee recruitment and selection, training and development, performance  management, and career management. Organizational trust is examined with integrity, competence, and dependability factors. In this study, questionnaires were distributed to telecommunication employees in order to collect data and 751 valid questionnaires were returned. As a result of the analyzes conducted on these data, it was determined that the adaptability trait of organizational culture has a significant and positive effect on organizational trust. We also found a statistically significant relationship between the adaptability trait of  organizational culture and talent management factors. Findings of this study also showed a positive relationship between talent management factors and organizational trust. It was observed that talent management partially mediates the relationship between the adaptability trait of organizational culture and organizational trust. The original research model designed in this study and the research conducted on a high number of participants in the telecommunication sector aims to make a valuable contribution to the existing literature.
