Exploring the Role of Talent Management in Talent Migration: A Scoping Review

Abstract

The purpose of this review is to produce a comprehensive understanding of themes related to the role of talent management in talent migration. Hence, a scoping review of the literature is conducted and finally discovers six themes related to the topic. It can conclude that macro talent management and its impact on economy is the most popular theme in these studies. Specifically, macro talent management can optimize the positive effects of talent migration for host countries by implementing organizational-level talent management practices and national-level policy that effectively attract and retain talents, thereby enhancing a country's global competitiveness and economic development. Conversely, socioeconomic factors also have a substantial impact on macro talent management. Future research could further explore the role of socioeconomic factors on macro talent management. The findings from this review indicate the importance of talent management in talent migration, which has the potential to be advantageous for businesses, organizational researchers, and policymakers.
