Designing a model for developing the talent management of junior high school teachers

The purpose of this study was to design a model for developing the talent management of junior high school teachers in Tehran. The research method was correlational using causal modeling. The statistical population of this study included 2360 primary school teachers in Tehran, of whom 331 were selected based on the Cochran's formula, using multi-stage and stratified sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire on teacher talent management development. The face and content validity of the approved questionnaire was 0.81. Convergent validity of the questionnaire was approved by obtaining a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.83. In order to analyze the quantitative data, the structural equation model in PLS2 software was used. Findings showed that competency-orientation (competency-based selection, competency-based education, competency-based appointment) through causal factors of talent management (organizational maturity and organizational structure), talent management strategies (staff training, talent management planning, decentralization), and underlying factors (teacher participation, systematic structure, educational facilities, and school independence) has a positive and significant effect on organizational growth. The Aston-Geiser predictive correlation index or Q 2 also showed that the structural model is of good quality.
