Abstract:- The aim of paper is to investigate the influences of elements (fluctuation, employee reward system and
career management) within the talent management strategy in scientific institutions. Across theoretical background
which is closely with the thematic talent management and strategic perspectives of their preoccupation and
commitment and talent career development and satisfaction at work will be preset the theoretical based for model
testing. The model testing will test by quantitative deductive approach which their self will show the results by
using statistical analyses. According to results we can conclude that, the Satisfaction at work p=131 Preoccupation
with work p=,283Commitment to the organization,059 Work experience=432 are variables that positive influence
on talent created and negative the statute of the new worker p=-,140. The main recommendation of articles is
compilation of the unifying human resources development strategy in all scientific institutions, compilation of the
strategy for talent management in all scientific institutions., creation and application of government institutions for
the supervision of talents.
Key-words:- talent, management, hrm, resources, satisfaction, turnover.

1 Introduction
At the beginning of this paper, we will discuss the
formation of the word talent from a linguistic point of
view. The word talent was used for the first time in
Hellenic Greece and derives from the Greek word
talenton respectively from the Latin word talentum,
which in the source of the word itself means the
measurer of a gold coin. Therefore, the one who had
talent means that he was an individual with special
weight or characteristics, showing strong feelings in
any of his actions. Of course, in Hellenic Greece,
talents were distinguished in artistic activities where
their talent prevailed over others, creating works of
various artistic types [1]. So, based on the values of
artistic works, their talent has also been measured.
So, the word talenton is the symbol of the monetary
unit worth 55 pounds or 20 kg of silver, where the
value expressed in Hellenic currency was 7300
denarius, while the value of a denarius was the value
of a worker's day's work. Based on these data, it is
estimated that talent is worth at least twenty years of
work from a simple worker, while today by the word
talent we mean the individual who possesses special
characteristics and features in choosing complex
problems in the fields and activities of different life.
The idea of talent management was born in the 90s,
as a process to provide the organization with talented
individuals, i.e. individuals who have great skills in
the implementation and performance of defined work
obligations and tasks [2].
Talented individuals, who possess special skills and
talents, perform effectively in the workplace. Talent
consists of those individuals who make possible a
positive difference in organizational performance
through their contribution. Talent management is the
process through which talented individuals are
identified, developed, recruited, supported and
retained [3].
Talent management, as a comprehensive set of
activities, aims to ensure the flow of talent in the
organization, making clear the fact that talent is the
organization's greatest resource.
Talent management is the implementation of
integrated strategies or systems designed to increase
productivity in the workplace, therefore the process

of talent management means the development,
preservation and use of human resources,
respectively people with the necessary skills and
abilities, to meet the needs and an organization's
current and future requirements.
McKinsey has reported that employers in the future
will face fierce competition to find talent. Also, he
has shown his concern in the recruitment of talented
employees, due to the loading of labor markets. Since
then, the field of study of talent management has
grown and has been given special importance both in
the literature and in organizational practices [4].
In their research, have estimated that "the success of
the organization cannot be defined in a concise
manner" without also using the talent management
process. Therefore, the exact meaning of the term
"talent management" is still not precisely defined,
due to confusion regarding the many definitions,
terms and assumptions made by authors who have
written about talent management. The terms "talent
management", "talent strategy", "succession
management" and "human resource planning" are
often used interchangeably in literature and scientific
papers [5]
Today the term talent management, as a broader
concept, is known to attract, retain and develop
talent), and it is important for two reasons: first,
talent management enables institutions or
organizations to successfully attract, retain and
develop talent for their needs and requirements. The
second reason is that talent management should
become an area of employee action within the
organization [6].
Institutions as well as other public and private
organizations tend to favor talented individuals.
Individuals have the responsibility to use and exploit
every opportunity that comes to them from the
organization, to show the skills and talents they
possess [2]. The ability of individuals is best seen in
taking on tasks and responsibilities from the side of
the organization, where the optimal solution to the
created situations is required. In relation to scientific
institutions, the individual must have this necessary
additional skill, and one of them is having talent to
work in scientific institutions, so when he is recruited
in scientific institutions and tested for talent, first of
all we must notice if the person is talented to be part
of scientific institutions [7].
The role of scientific and academic research is
inevitable in improving academic success in every
university, institute and why not even for the state.
According to Wall, a successful organization is one
that can adapt to changes in the business environment
over a long period, creating a structure of
management and goals, as well as developments in
the key competencies of employees [8].
Many different studies try to identify the key factors
of organizational success, and as such they provide
answers regarding the development of talent skills,
which is considered a key success factor in any
organization. So, human resources departments, in
addition to solving specific problems related to
human resource problems, should also choose the
problems related to the selection of the right talents
and able to cope with the situations that bring about
the success of the institution or organization. In order
to solve problems related to organizational success,
HR must prepare its personnel to face challenges
during the work process. One of these challenges is
the demand for qualified and talented personnel
Unanimously, it can be said that qualified and
talented personnel add value and play a very large
role in determining organizational success. The best
way to do this is to directly improve the performance
of the organization. This is accomplished by
effectively managing talent, which would directly
impact HR strategies, as well as a host of other
professional activities, adding value to the impactful
effectiveness of HR development.
According to some general theories, which are
related to the HR management approach, there is a
consensus that talent plays a much larger role in
determining organizational success. However,
unfortunately, very often organizations fail to engage
individuals who have the right knowledge and skills
in the development of the work process, therefore
organizations should focus on engaging the right
individuals, positioning them in jobs where they are
expected to make the required contribution. It should
be noted that often business objectives are not related
to individual competencies, but this is another
problem of any organization and has nothing to do
with engaging talented individuals
The main focus of this paper is the study regarding
the effects of talent management as an influencing
factor in the success of the scientific institutions of
the Republic of Kosovo.
Therefore, the main question in this paper is:

The influence of elements (fluctuation,
employee reward system and career management)
within the talent management strategy in scientific
institutions.
While the other research questions in this
paper are: P.K.1. Should scientific institutions
have talent management strategies?
P.K.2. Is there a link between talent
strategy and creating competitive advantage?
The paper will be limited to two aspects, the
theoretical aspect and the research aspect. In theory,
the limitation will be only in focusing on the effects
of talent management, which includes talent career
development and hiring management of new and old
talent. Whereas, the other definition is the research
one, where the study will be defined only in scientific
and research institutes of the Republic of Kosovo.
2 Literature Review
Likewise, talent management is also considered as a
process of additional management of human
opportunities available to a talent to perform a task in
the organization (consultation [4].
McKinsey has reported that employers in the future
will face fierce competition to find talent. Also, he
has shown his concern in the recruitment of talented
employees, due to the loading of labor markets. Since
then the field of study of talent management has
grown and has been given special importance both in
the literature and in organizational practices. [5]
The mission of human resources is to provide added
value to the services of staff in the organization, but
providing these values also has difficulties in
fulfilling the mission. These difficulties appear when
the limited time for a certain action is extended.
However, this expectation is often difficult to
describe. Further, HR leaders will always be required
to present plans and projects that support the strategy
in organizational challenges. Here are some
successful strategies, which are explored in the areas
of talent retention and engagement. [6]
The responsibility of HR in relation to talent
management is to identify the necessary investments
in talent design and development, of course counting
on the return on investment from talent in the
organization. [11] HR should assess the ability of
decentralized leadership in the organization,
implementing the actions needed to close gaps in
talent identification [7].
HR's responsibility in relation to talent management
is to identify the necessary investments in talent
design and development, naturally counting on the
return on investment from talent to the organization.
HR should assess the ability of decentralized
leadership in the organization, implementing the
necessary actions to close the gaps in talent
identification.
Process Perspective and preoccupation: Perspective
is not a process that proposes the inclusion of all the
processes needed to select people within an
organization. This perspective believes that the future
success of the organization is based on having the
right talents - and means that the organization uses
the management and education of talent every day in
the life of the organization as part of the ongoing
process [8].
Cultural perspective of instrumental commitment:
Cultural perspective means the nature of talent
behavior in the organization, influenced by market
demand for distinct skills. This perspective believes
in the principle that talents are necessary for
achieving organizational success. This can best be
seen, where each individual can be dependent on his
talent in achieving success, due to the nature of the
market in which they operate and also this is typical
for organizations operating in the labor market [13] ,
where within it the tasks are divided on a basis that
implies the performance of its tasks [9].
Competitive Perspective and nominal commitment:
Competitive perspective does not propose that talent
management should be accelerated, in development
paths for the best employees [10]), applying the same
personal development process to everyone in the
organization, but accelerating the process for high
potentials. Therefore, the focus is on developing high
potentials or talents that are faster than others [12].
2.1 Talent Career Development and
Satisfaction at Work
In everyday speech the word "career" is used in
different ways. The authors and researchers have
presented two perspectives of the career concept.
From the first objective point of view, by career we
mean: the sequences of positions occupied by a
person during his course of life. From the other point
WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on ENVIRONMENT and DEVELOPMENT
DOI: 10.37394/232015.2022.18.110

Volume 18, 2022
of view, the subjective one, career consists in:
changing the values, attitudes and motivations that
occur as a person gets older.
As can be seen, both of these perspectives focus on
the individual and both assume that the individual has
some control over his or her destiny, which can
manipulate opportunities in order to maximize
success and career satisfaction [11].
The word "career" is used in different ways and has
many connotations. Sometimes having a career is
only used for someone who has a profession or
whose professional life is well structured and
involves steady advancement. But if we think of
career as being something that every individual will
consider as steps or stages of getting a job, then
everyone has a career and that career is "anchored"
by the person's own image in terms of competencies,
motives or his / her values [12]. One might consider
this as an “inner career” simply to distinguish it from
what others might see from a person’s work life.
Everyone has some kind of picture of his / her life at
work, as well as his / her role in this life. To
distinguish "internal career" from other uses of the
word, the term "external career" is used, which refers
to the concrete steps required of a job or an
organization to move forward through that job.
Talent planning and career development has become
a big business today, for several reasons [12]:
Attention has been increased to the quality
of work life and to the planning of individuals' lives.
• Pressure of various legal acts.
• Increasing the level of education.
Small economic growth and reduction of
opportunities for advancement.
A career planning is important for the fact that career
success or failure is closely related to the identity,
self-concept and satisfaction of the individual, for
career and life [15]. Career planning is an ongoing
process by which an individual defines his or her
career goals and identifies the means to achieve
them. Career planning does not only focus on
promotion opportunities, as the current work
environment has limited many of these opportunities
[13]. At some point, career planning should focus on
achieving success that does not necessarily mean
promotion.
For years, researchers have tried to identify the main
tasks that an individual performs during his or her
working life and to organize these tasks at different
career stages, as early, middle and late stage [17]s. A
large number of models have been proposed, but
their accuracy has not been made possible to prove.
There is little agreement on the fact that career stages
are age related. Many theorists set age limits for each
career standard, but these limits are very different. It
is more understandable and acceptable to talk about
time-related career stages, namely to define a "career
hour", which begins to function at different moments,
based on their experience and background. What we
can analyze by observing a very large number of
organizations and jobs, is the division of career
stages in general in these intermediate periods [9]:
1. pre-career period, ie the choice of a field
or educational preparation for entering a career;
2. formal training in the chosen field or
workplace;
3. entering a workplace or organization;
4. period of learning, training and
socialization;
5. period of full use of a person or talent
leading to certain forms of permanent status,
through the granting of a permanent
membership, a professional license or one of
the other forms of certification;
6. period of productive employment;
7. tendency towards administration,
management or other forms of becoming a "leader"
and 8. gradual disengagement, part-time work
and retirement [11].
3 Methodology
In this paper the research area will be the effect of
talent management, as one of the HR strategies,
which affects the success of organizations and as the
masterful part of the science of human resource
management.
All of these research questions will be tested by
hypotheses. So, the working hypotheses in this paper
will be the many problems faced by scientific
institutions in Kosovo, where it will be assumed that
the satisfaction, preoccupation of employees and
their loyalty to work affects the turnover of
employees in the organization [16].
HA0- Institutions that do not possess the
elements (satisfaction, preoccupation and loyalty of
employees) of the talent strategy affect the turnover
of employees of scientific institutions. or the

HA1- Institutions possess the elements
(satisfaction, preoccupation and loyalty of
employees) of the talent strategy affect the turnover
of employees of scientific institutions.
It is assumed that the concept of employee benefits
can bring about the solution of numerous problems,
which are present in every organization. Based on the
reward system, which in itself possesses the
beneficial elements, it can be concluded that this
system affects SMT and as such organizations are
better positioned in the competitive environment.
Therefore, the following hypotheses will be:
HB0- Where there are no elements, proper
benefits, the reward system is coherent and the
organization does not have a competitive advantage.

This study does not stop only at the descriptive
statistical data, but an important part of this study is
done between the analysis of the results and the
testing of the hypotheses between the empirical
analysis of the econometric model for testing the
connections that we will build. Many hypotheses
were thrown at the beginning of this chapter, which
will be interpreted according to the selected model,
which is regression analysis.
In support of the selection of this econometric model
for data processing and hypothesis testing, the
following table reflects different studies that have a
study object similar to the object of this study, that
have similarities in the data and the form chosen by
the researcher for their collection. Thus, perceptual
data were used by these authors, which used the same
econometric model that was chosen to be used in this
study, the simple linear regression model and the

multiple linear regression model according to the
least squares method (OLS).
This chapter first provides an answer to the question
of why research and scientific institutes were chosen
as the final target of the study. The supported
approach in relation to universities is first reflected
and then all the reasons why it was chosen are given.
Everything is then interpreted by answering the
question of why the university is so important in
talent management and what is its key role in talent
development.
3.1 Sample Selected in All Universities
The sample is based on an accuracy of p = 0.05,

The number of respondents and questionnaires, after
excluding incomplete and incorrectly completed
questionnaires, is 179 respondents. Based on the
cluster method, this number corresponds to the
sample number and population. Before checking the
goals of the research, the indicators of the variables
were calculated, based on the performance of the
interviewee, job satisfaction, preoccupation with
work and loyalty to the job, as well as the
organization of these components, which are also
elements of talent supervision. From the data
obtained, the arithmetic average of individual
measures was measured, where the results show how
many employees there are in this institution on
average, are moderately satisfied with work and show
a pronounced preoccupation with work and loyalty to
the organization, which is characterized by a weak
normative fidelity.
4 Analysis
To address the first problem of this study and to
determine the differences between job satisfaction
and preoccupation with work, as well as loyalty to
the organization of entities which have the status of
public workers and private workers, arithmetic
differences were examined using t -test. Prior to
performing the t-test the normal distribution was
checked, using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The
distribution did not deviate significantly from
normal. (Zzad = 0.975, Zzaok = 0.737, Zafod =
1.041, Zinstod = 1.498, Znormod = 0.774; p <0.05).
Table 1 shows the results of the t-test in measuring
job satisfaction, work preoccupation, and the three
dimensions of loyalty to the organization.

The results show that there is a statistically
significant difference between employees of public
and private institutions in their preoccupation with
work, as well as in the three dimensions of loyalty to
the organization. In this research, employees of
public institutions showed low levels of
preoccupation with work, as well as less emotional,
important and normative commitment to the
organization. Job satisfaction indicates for both
groups a unique level between the subjects, which
agrees with the optimal level of job satisfaction.
4.1 The Correlation and Job Satisfaction,
Work Preoccupation and Loyalty to the
Organization with Work Success
The second problem was to study the relationship of
job satisfaction, job preoccupation and loyalty to the
organization and the job performance of employees,
as well as the goals of leaving the organization. To
answer this problem, the correlation coefficient
between these variables was calculated for each
criterion separately and then the regression analysis
was determined, determining the relative contribution
of each of these determinants in predicting the
employment of talent and the purpose of the
employed talent. to leave the organization. Although
the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showed that the
distribution of performance results and the intention
to leave the organization deviates from the normal
distribution (Zr.u. = 1.79, p <0.01, Zn.no = 2.59, p
<0.01).
Tables 2 show the correlation coefficients between
job preoccupation, job satisfaction and loyalty to the
organization and other measures of employees
working for the entire sample of respondents. From
the beginning it has been established that there is a
big difference between employees of public
institutions and private employees. In the observed
variables of almost all predictors, the correlations are
presented separately for the sub-models of employees
of public institutions and private employees. In this
way, the impact of service duration or age is partially
eliminated.

Based on the population sample, it can be observed
that the variable preoccupation with work as well as
job satisfaction plays a special role in keeping
talented employees in the respective organization
with a correlation force between 0.511 to 0.777 in the
correlation of commitment to work. Also, the job
satisfaction variable affects almost every correlation
of the research work variable, ranging from 0, 004 to
0.397. On the other hand, in a sample it can be
concluded that only preoccupation at work is in a
small correlation with work performance in the
organization. Other correlations across the sample are
apparent and are due to the association of forecast
and criteria with a third variable, which are length of
service, age, and employment status.
4.2 The Relation between Turnover Talent
and Job Satisfaction, Work Preoccupation
and Loyalty to the Organization
To obtain more detailed information about the
predictive validity of job satisfaction, job
preoccupation, and loyalty to the organization in
relation to their performance in the organization,
regression analysis was conducted across the sample
of respondents. Regression analysis includes all the
variables mentioned earlier, as the determinant
category, where it is shown that this determinant
group possesses 22% of the accuracy variance.

It can be concluded that there is a clear possibility of
employee turnover in the studied organizations,
because the beta parameter, which has to do with
preoccupation with work, is below 0. Of course,
where the finding is completely accurate for each
target subject of variables research.
To confirm the fluctuation in work, a correlation was
made between the research variables in the following

The correlations between the variables of high
organizational commitment and job satisfaction as
well as low preoccupation at work, are negatively
correlated. As for the models of employees of public
institutions and private employees, it has been shown
to be significantly negatively associated with the
variable of the purpose of leaving the organization.
The variables preoccupation with work and
instrumental loyalty to work are not related to the
variable of the purpose of leaving the organization.
However, preoccupation with work shows a low
correlation, while the connection of other attitudes
and intentions to leave the organization are high. This
partly confirms our hypothesis, starting with all
positions, that, in addition to preoccupation with
work, they relate to the intent of leaving the
organization.

Based on the tables and the regression graph and the
Anova model, it is concluded that there is a great
influence of these variables, where R Square is
0592123 and Ste 0.574599767 and the significant
level is 0.92305, which means that in four
observation of the variables, the result is put in a bit
and the acceptance or non-acceptance of the
following hypotheses of category C can be
elaborated.
It can be concluded that HC1 is fully acceptable,
because we have t stat 0.81 and F 0.49, which means
that any enterprise, if it wants to achieve success in
its work, must take care that, through professional
development, to create the best possible career for its
workers.

5 Discussion
The dependent variable is the individual inputs
(AMO) that in the model of this study are measured
by individual skills, internal motivation for work and
the opportunities for participation and self-expression
that are given to the individual in his workplace.
While the dependent variables are human resource
talent management practices, i.e. recruitment,
training/development, motivation, job security,
performance evaluation, talent career guidance, as
well as compensation/reward, the whole system is
also seen under the influence of the characteristics of
the organization and interviewees such as the size of
the organizations, public or private research, age,
gender, years in public administration, status, number
of dependents. The regression analysis shows that the
recruitment coefficient β1=0.19471 is statistically
significant, its value as expected is positive, so
recruitment and individual inputs have a positive
relationship between each other. Training and
development also have a positive relationship with
the dependent variable coefficient β2=0.0867411 and
it is statistically significant however its contribution
to individual inputs seems to be smaller than that of
recruitment, this is completely expected since the
dependent variable are individual inputs and of
course the recruitment process has a greater impact
on individual inputs than training, this process would
have a greater impact on the output of the individual.
Motivation as a human resource management
practice also has a positive relationship with
individual inputs, this is shown by the positive sign
and the value of the coefficient β3=0.543558, this
coefficient is statistically significant since the P-value
<0.01, also the value of this coefficient is relatively

big can be said to be the largest among all the values
of other coefficients, which means that among the
independent variables motivation has a rather large
contribution on individual inputs, but theoretically
also for motivation it should be the same logic as for
training, but in fact it is not like that. The explanation
that can be given in this case is that motivation
directly affects the internal motivation of the
individual at work, which causes motivation to have
a high coefficient. Safety at work is represented by
β4=0.0457699 but this coefficient is not statistically
significant since pvalue > 0.1, however this
coefficient has a positive value which represents a
positive relationship with the inputs.
The performance evaluation is represented by
β5=0.1288074, this coefficient is statistically
significant since P-value < 0.05, the coefficient value
of this variable is positive which testifies to a positive
relationship of job security with individual inputs.
Career direction is represented by β6= - 0.0673226,
as can be seen this variable has a negative value
which means that career direction has a negative
effect on individual inputs, however this coefficient
is statistically significant as its P-value < 0.05.
Talent management is also a variable that has a
negative relationship with individual inputs, this
independent variable is represented by β7= -
0.0724287, however this variable is statistically
significant as p-value < 0.05. Compensation and
reward is represented in this model by the coefficient
β8=0.0915289, its value is positive which testifies to
a positive relationship with individual inputs, this
coefficient is statistically significant since p-value <
0.01, in fact it is not expected that the compensation
of this any major impact on inputs or on any
dependent variable since, as has been repeated, the
structure of compensations and rewards is well-
defined in the public administration of Kosovo, so
they cannot be used as a genuine instrument in the
management of human resources. Male gender, status
married civil, central and local Research and
Scientific Institutes have presented negative values of
their coefficients, so they have a negative relationship
with individual inputs. The number of dependents has
a statistically significant coefficient since p - value <
0.1, the value of this coefficient is β19=0.0300472.
R2=0.5447 which means that 54.47% of the
dependent variable, i.e. individual inputs, is
explained by the independent variable. To realize
this, the number of observations was 500, the level of
significance of this model is significant, in this way
we can say that the hypothesis does not fall and the
alternative hypothesis is proven, that is, human
resource management practices have an impact on
the individual inputs of
Equation 1 in this case would have the form:
'Individual inputs' = 0.4038916 + 0.19471
'recruitment' + 0867411 'training' + 0457499
'motivation' +0.1288074 'job security' - 0.0673226
'career management' - 0.0724287 'talent management'
+ 0.915289 'compensation'
We now test the relationship of human resource
management practices on outputs and individual job
performance. After we do After the regression
analysis, we notice that recruitment again presents a
strong and positive relationship with individual
outputs, the recruitment coefficient has the value
β1=0.2631697, this coefficient, in addition to
presenting a positive relationship with the dependent
variable, is also statistically significant as p-value <
0.01 , so recruitment has a relatively large
contribution to individual outputs. Training and
development also have a positive coefficient
β2=0.0850378, this variable is statistically significant
after P-value < 0.05, however the contribution of this
variable to the independent variable is smaller than
we would expect since it is also smaller than the
coefficient that had the same variable in the input
equation, as it is expected that in individual outputs
training is perceived to have a greater impact.
Motivation in this case also represents the variable
that has the largest coefficient, its value in this case is
β3=0.3400562, this variable is statistically significant
since p-value < 0.01, the value of this variable is
positive, which means that there is a positive
relationship with the dependent variable, i.e.
individual output.
The next variable to be discussed is job security, the
coefficient of this variable is positive which
determines a positive relationship with the dependent
variable individual output, the value of this variable
is β4=0.1288074 and is statistically significant since
p-value < 0.05, but the same variable related to
individual inputs was statistically insignificant.
Meanwhile, the performance evaluation results in this
positive value, so there is a positive relationship with
the dependent variable individual output and its value
is β5=0.577134, but since p - value > 0.1 this variable
is statistically insignificant.

Career direction is presented in this case with a
positive value β6=0.0612814 this coefficient is
statistically significant since p - value < 0.05.
Meanwhile, the direction of talent is presented with a
negative value and its coefficient has the value β7= -
0.03776, this coefficient is statistically insignificant.
Compensation and reward have a positive value
β8=0.0679575 which is statistically significant. The
male gender, private and public Research and
Scientific Institutes present negative values of their
coefficients, so they have a negative relationship with
individual inputs. The number of dependents has a
statistically significant coefficient since p - value <
0.05, the value of this coefficient is β19=0.0315336.
6 Conclusion
The main purpose of the study was to investigate
talent management in public and private scientific
institutions. Examining talent management, a study
was made between the variables of preoccupation at
work, job satisfaction and organizational
commitment of employees at work.
Before looking at the basic purpose, it was decided to
examine the differences between the three population
groups in relation to their attitudes about the
organization of work and their commitment to work.
In the first group were employees of public university
institutions, in the second group were employees of
private university institutions and in the third group
was the group of workers who work in secondary
scientific institutions, dealing with the development
of scientific activities.
Regarding job satisfaction, it has been assumed that
employees of public scientific institutions are
satisfied at the average level, while researchers
working at private institutions are satisfied at the
optimal level. Based on this assumption, some
additional elements have been observed that affect
job satisfaction, based on the two absorbed groups
such as age and work experience. Older researchers,
starting from 50 years and older, are very satisfied
with their workplace, while among those under 50
years of age, the level of job satisfaction is low.
Regarding work dedication, it has been established
that employees in private institutions are more
dedicated to work than employees in public
institutions, even though this assumption did not exist
at the beginning.
Also, in this variable, it was observed that the
elements that directly influence work commitment
are: reward and advancement or promotion in the
work position.
The reward system in private institutions is richer
than in public institutions, as well as the
advancement of employees in these institutions is
rewarded according to their merits and commitment,
regardless of age and the period of time they have
spent in these institutions.
During the research, it was found that the issue of a
number of employees of public institutions, who are
more motivated than those who work in private
institutions, as the key element that has influenced
this variable the most, is the safety of the workplace,
as and distinguishing the institution's prestige and
authority.
The assumptions of the career development variable
are validated. So, it has been assumed that public
university institutions invest below the average level
in the professional career guidance of employees. On
the other hand, it has been assumed that in private
institutions great attention is paid to the career
direction of employees. So, the element of approval
of this assumption is signified at the value of 0.756
and Beta 0.675.
Older employees who have tenure in the institution
have shown a higher level of loyalty to the
organization of workers who have junior status (t = -
6.88, p < 0.01, t = -2.25, p < 0.05, t = -5.59, p <
0.01). These results are expected to be at least at this
level, and previous studies have shown a low but
consistent correlation between age and length of
service with organizational loyalty.
Also, some employees have not agreed with the
values and goals of the organizations, because the
organizations have not invested in their personal
objectives.
The problems discussed are made for one purpose
only. It is also the fundamental objective of this paper
- the level of talent management. The elements of
variables used were in the focus of finding any
process related to MT. However, despite all the
positive developments that have been observed in
scientific institutions, it cannot be concluded that in
these institutions there are initiatives for the
treatment and systematization of talents, because
none of the HR departments of these institutions have
plans on how to evaluate talents or individuals.
inclined to science. Especially in most public
institutions, they have not yet planned the Human
Resources Strategy.

On the other hand, in the Republic of Kosovo, no
institution trains and certifies talented individuals for
various activities. So, the absence of these agencies
may be the reason why such an action is not practiced
even in scientific institutions, just as the institutions
of other countries act, such as in the USA, where, in
addition to other agencies that deal with talents, they
have also established the State Association of Talents
(AST).
Therefore, we can conclude that: Talent is born, but
not having the opportunity to show ability at work,
preoccupation at work, loyalty to work, as well as
receiving deserved benefits, etc. Inborn talent may
even disappear or remain untapped.
It can be concluded that this is the first study that
deals with the issue of talent management in
scientific institutions in the Republic of Kosovo.
