Abstract
Talent management is considered as a new strategy employed by organizations to enhance
employee engagement and loyalty in the workplace. The objective of this study is to examine the
effect of talent management on employee engagement in Pipeline & Products Marketing Company
(PPMC), in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. Research data
were collected using well-structured questionnaire on 92 employees of the PPMC as this was
relatively easy to determine using Taro Yamane’s formula. The data was analyzed using inferential
statistics, which include regression and correlation analysis. The findings of the study revealed
that learning and development have significant impact on employee engagement at 5% level. The
study equally found that talent management has significant relationship with employee
engagement through the moderating variables of learning and development (p<0.05). Therefore,
the study concluded that both learning and development have significant relationship with
employee engagement in PPMC. Hence, effort has to be made to improve talent management
through learning and development to engage employee fully in the sampled organization. The
study recommended that PPMC should focus more on learning and development of the available
talented employee in the organization rather than spending more money and time on sourcing for
talented employees through recruitment process.
