Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of talent management in organizational agility of schools through organizational learning mediation. This descriptive-correlational study was conducted with the participation of 327 first grade teachers in Kermanshah who were selected by stratified random sampling in terms of volume. The Questionnaires of Eheli's talent management (2007), Nifeh organizational learning (2001), and Zhang and Sharifi's organizational agility (2000) were used. The reliability and validity of the questionnaires were assessed by Cronbach's alpha and confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the talent management variable had a positive direct effect (0.62), a positive indirect effect (0.147) and a positive and significant overall effect (0.767) on the organizational agility variable. The organizational learning variable has a positive direct effect (0.22) and a positive and significant overall effect (0.22) on the organizational agility variable. The talent management variable with indirect path coefficient through organizational learning (0.147) and t value (3.28) has indirect, positive and significant effect on organizational agility variable. According to the general effect of independent variables, it could be said that the talent management variable (0.767) has the most effect and the organizational learning variable (0.22) has the least effect on organizational agility variable. In other words, it can be said that talent management mediated by organizational learning enhances the organizational agility of school teachers.
