A BIBLIOMETRIC REVIEW OF TALENT MANAGEMENT, ORGANIZATIONAL WELL- BEING, AND EMPLOYEE RETENTION RESEARCH

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between talent management practices and employee retention, emphasising the mediating role of organisational well-being. The research aims to determine how strategic HR initiatives such as talent acquisition, training and development, performance management, and reward systems, enhance employee retention through improved well-being. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using a five-stage PRISMA-based approach, analysing 54 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 from major databases. Bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer identified three thematic clusters: talent management, organisational well-being, and employee retention. The study aims to determine the way strategic HR practices, such as talent attraction, training and development, performance appraisal, and improve employee retention by improving organisational well-being.
