Abstract
Lately, the industrial revolution, high technological development, and global labor market opening have brought new challenges to labor markets and stimulated human resources to deal with the barriers that tested their adaptation skills, quick decision-making, and easiness in solving urgent problems under tight deadlines. Human resource policies, strategies, and good practices have become insufficient for the current requirements of the global markets, triggering the appearance of a new area of research, that is, talent management. To bring theoretical clarifications, this study aimed to review the literature in the field for the 2016-2021 period by overviewing the studies published in research journals and databases to investigate how talent and talent management have been defined, and which practices have been used globally. The studies showed that the field has not been researched enough due to difficulties encountered in formulating an unanimously accepted definition by both academics and practitioners.
Keywords: Human resources; talent; talent management; talent management practices.
