Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the effect of talent management on job performance through employee retention in the healthcare sector of Hafr Al-Batin Governorate, Saudi Arabia. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach and utilized a structured questionnaire administered to a sample of 384 healthcare employees. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Hayes' PROCESS Macro (Model 4) to test the mediating role of employee retention. The findings revealed a significant positive effect of talent management on employee retention and a significant positive effect of employee retention on job performance. In addition, talent management demonstrated a significant total effect on job performance. However, the indirect effect through employee retention was not statistically significant according to Bootstrap confidence intervals, indicating the absence of a significant mediation effect. The study recommends strengthening talent management practices, improving workplace conditions, and exploring additional mediating variables in future research.
