Abstract
Introduction: Lack of talent management in any organization makes talented employees unwilling to create new values and strategies. Therefore, this research aimed to identify and compare the current and favorable status of talent management in libraries of selected medical sciences universities of Tehran city.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical research was conducted by the survey method. The study population included 130 librarians working in central and faculty libraries in the medical sciences universities of Tehran city. The data collection tool was William J. Rothwell's questionnaire. Friedman test was used to compare and rank the components and Wilcoxon test used to compare the current and favorable status.
Results: The findings showed that each of the current statuses of seven components of librarians' talent management is in the range of 2.34 - 3.66 at a relatively favorable level. The "Assessing personal performance" has gained the first rank in the current status of talent management components. Each of the seven components of librarians' talent management is in the range of 3.67-5 at a favorable level. The mean of current and favorable status is 2.801 and 4.272, respectively. There is a significant difference between the current and favorable status of talent management from the viewpoint of librarians (p-value<0.001).
Conclusion: The current status of talent management has a gap with its favorable status. Library managers are recommended, to bridge this gap, to identify talents and seek to recruit, develop, educate, and maintain them, as well as educating talented individuals to learn specialized skills.
