Some Aspects of the Relationship between Talent Management and Service Quality Components in Egyptian Law Firms

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to show that talent management (TM) is an influential tool for law firms to gain a competitive advantage, develop competencies and sustain service quality (SQ), which is crucial to their success.

Study design/methodology/approach: A quantitative non-experimental research method was used to evaluate the relationship between TM and SQ components in law firms, focusing on a designed model of correlations to explore some aspects of the relationship between TM and SQ components.

Findings: The findings from correlation and multiple regression analysis show that not all the selected components of TM have a significant relationship with the SQ components. In the study, performance management and compensation components of TM indicate a low correlation with SQ components. Ongoing performance, assessment and concurrent training programs also serve to improve SQ and enhance the overall effectiveness of TM.  Study shows that law firms need to develop strategies and constantly compile data on employees and job positions for consistent TM and development.

Originality/value: The study evaluates a vital aspect of the linkages between TM and SQ components. It suggests ways of improving program effectiveness, employees' overall performance, and retention of the best talent in legal organisations.
