Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of high-performance work systems on employee performance and to reveal the mediating role of talent management in this relationship. Conducted in the banking sector, the research develops a conceptual model based on the increasing importance of high-performance work system practices in contemporary work environments and analyzes the causal relationships among three key variables: high-performance work systems, talent management, and employee performance. The population of the study consists of employees working in the banking sector in Turkey, and data were collected from 540 employees employed in banks in Istanbul using the convenience sampling method. The data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed in AMOS to test the validity and reliability of the measurement scales, while the effects of the proposed model were examined using Hayes regression analysis in SPSS. The findings indicate that high-performance work systems have a significant effect on employee performance and that talent management plays a mediating role in this relationship.

Özet

Bu çalışma, yüksek performanslı iş sistemlerinin çalışan performansı üzerindeki etkisini ve bu ilişkide yetenek yönetiminin aracılık rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bankacılık sektöründe yürütülen araştırma kapsamında, yüksek performanslı iş sistemi, yetenek yönetimi ve çalışan performansı arasındaki nedensel ilişkileri içeren kavramsal bir model geliştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye’de bankacılık sektöründe çalışanlar oluşturmakta olup, İstanbul’daki bankalardan kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle 540 çalışandan veri toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS ve AMOS programları kullanılarak analiz edilmiş; doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile ölçeklerin geçerlilik ve güvenirliği test edilmiş, Hayes regresyon analizi ile model etkileri incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, yüksek performanslı iş sistemlerinin çalışan performansı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu ve bu ilişkide yetenek yönetiminin aracılık rolünü desteklediğini göstermektedir.
