Qualitative model and foundation data of teachers' talent development (Case study: Ardabil primary school teachers)

Organizational managers seek to discover and implement the best management practices, and talent management is a suitable option to help them. The implementation of the talent management process in organizations means that organizations must identify their competent and talented employees (talent identification), take development measures such as providing training and experience opportunities for these talents (talent development) and finally can have these talents. For long-term programs (talent retention).Talent development is one of the main and important dimensions of talent management, which is related to measures such as appreciation and compensation of services, providing training and experience opportunities, mapping career path, developing the capacity and individual and collective capabilities of employees, and so on. Talent Development By emphasizing program development, selection, and implementation of a development strategy for all organizational talents, it ensures that the organization has enough talent now and in the future to achieve its strategic goals. Therefore, managers must have a specific management strategy and development plans, because the task of creating a suitable platform for training and development of organizational talents is the responsibility of managers.In this regard, attention and investment to improve the competencies, talents, skills and abilities of employees, competent management, development of correct and needs-based program, development of content-oriented content and the accurate implementation of these programs to achieve employee development is recommended.In education, despite the fact that this institution has different conditions than commercial organizations, but in the field of attracting, retaining and developing talents, empowering and strengthening the skills of teachers, there is competition. It can be said that the success of educational organizations depends on the level of talent and their development, and the failure of these organizations is due to their poor leadership and management.It should be noted that the growth and development of societies is due to changes in their educational system and a fundamental change in the country's educational system requires the effective use of resources and facilities, proper use of organizational talents and the development of these talents. Lack of self-specific talent model on the one hand and lack of awareness of the conditions and reality in the education organization on the other hand has led to the failure of talent management planning in this organization.The component of talent development independently has not been studied much in educational organizations. There is a serious shortage in the development of talented manpower in primary school and the talents of teachers have been neglected. It has also been argued that despite the lack of knowledge on the component of talent development, evidence suggests that organizations are designing their own talent development processes. Therefore, the present study was conducted to design a model for developing the talent of primary school teachers.This research is an exploratory research in terms of nature and from the perspective of purpose, it is an applied research and of qualitative and phenomenological studies.The statistical population includes sample teachers of the last three years, administrators, education experts and university professors. The selection of the statistical sample was based on the purposeful sampling method and on the people who have the most knowledge and information about the research topic. In the present study, after interviewing 20 participating experts, the topics were theoretically saturated.Qualitative research data were analyzed through a coding process based on the systematic design of foundation data theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1998). For the validity and reliability of the main and sub-concepts and categories as well as the proposed model has been evaluated and approved using the following two

1- Validity evaluation in a communication method in which the main and sub-concepts and categories are extracted and The inference was reviewed by the participants in the interview and their opinions were taken into account. 2- By consulting experts, experts and professors of educational management, the categories have been reviewed several times, some rare concepts have been removed.The analysis of the findings of this research shows that the competencies of talents (knowledge, attitude, and ability) are the central phenomenon of the research, and the influencing factors include 1- the development of organizational knowledge, such as organizational trainings upon entry of employees for their organizational socialization and on-the-job trainings for Updating teachers' skills 2- The process of effective communication with the theme of facilitating the circulation and transfer of information for the purpose of knowledge management is affected. Also, the effective causal factors including 1- managerial factors (compensation for services and teachers' commitment to development) and 2- organizational factors (decentralization in order to delegate more authority and positive budgeting approach in order to resolve financial concerns) were introduced in the form of causal factors affecting the central category of the research.The necessary basis for this effective strategy is the strategic intelligence of the organization. This means that if the organization has a specific program to provide welfare services and support to employees as well as positive orientations to facilitate organizational learning; It will be possible to implement a performance management strategy. Also, adopting a school-based approach (participation, financial independence, appointing competent principals and delegating decisions to the school) is an intervention factor that can strengthen or weaken the talent development strategy.The results indicate that the strategy of establishing performance management in action and reaction with contextual and environmental factors will lead to organizational excellence. Organizational excellence means achieving the individual development of teachers and enhancing their capabilities and abilities, followed by the development of organizational achievements.achieving organizational goals requires the ability to motivate employees. The excellence of the Education Organization depends on the employment of elites, the training and development of these talents, the continuous evaluation of teachers 'performance and the award of certificates of teaching competence, the improvement of the quality of teaching and, in general, the promotion of teachers' professional capacity. Achieving such a level requires the implementation of the talent management process, including the identification and recruitment, training and development and retention of talents.Determining the level of teachers 'competence using appropriate tools, planning for education according to the level of competence of individuals and facilitating the flow of information are important measures that, if aligned with the organizational strategy, will lead to the empowerment and development of teachers' talents.- If the training, improvement and development of human resources is the focus of future plans, the result will definitely be the success and excellence of the education organization.- The successful planning and implementation of development programs will be guaranteed if it is accompanied by consultation with teachers and their participation. Therefore, a participatory approach is recommended.
