Section Three: Literature sources searched
Use of key literature sources to support your research question, objective or hypothesis:
Theme 1- Developing understanding related to talent management practices.
In the views of Kaliannan, Abraham and Ponnusamy (2016) in this highly competitive
working environment there is a great requirement for company in order to attract the employees
and try to retain the employees within the company for a longer period of time. This is very

important because of the reason that when the company will make the effective use of the talent
management then this will motivate the employees in performing their task in effective and
efficient manner.
On the other side Mohammed, Hafeez-Baig and Gururajan (2018) argues that the talent
management practices involve the process through which company tries to attract the employees
to work within the company and help them in their personal growth. This is a good way of
attracting the employees within the company and this will motivate the employees to stay
connected with the company for a longer period of time. Thus, when the company employs
effective talent management strategies then this motivates the employees to work in much better
manner as they develop a feeling that company is working for betterment of the company.
Theme 2- Different strategies used for talent management with the intention of the motivating
employees to improve the performance of the company.
In the views of Rodriguez and Walters (2017) there a many different types of talent
management strategies which assist the company in getting a better employees and retaining

providing or training and development sessions. This is the major strategy as when the company
will provide the facility of training then this will assist the company in increasing the
performance of the employees. The major reason for this is that with help of the providing time
to time training this will motivate the employees as company is taking care of the employees and
this will motivate then in doing work in more effective manner.
In contrast to this Maleka and et.al., (2020) argues that the another major strategy for
managing talent is the reward and recognition as this will assist the company in attracting and
retaining the employees for a longer period of time. This is particularly because of the reason
that when the company provides for effective rewards then this will motivate the employees and
they will perform in much better and effective manner. Further when the employees know that if
they will get more rewards if they will perform in much better way than this will motivate them
to work in more proper and organized manner.
Theme 3- Impact of using different types of talent management strategies over the
performance of the employees.
With the views of Yusoff and et.al., (2020) the major impact of using the different talent
management strategies is that this motivates the employees to work in much better and effective
