چکیده [English]

This article aims to design a structural, behavioral and background model for talent management in the specialized parent company of thermal power generation. Since the phenomenon of organization and management can be studied and analyzed in the form of three categories of structural, behavioral and contextual factors, the basic basis of the conceptual framework of the research is the use of the three-pronged model. To achieve the purpose of the research, a mixed exploratory design (qualitative-quantitative) was used. became Based on the findings of the qualitative section, a questionnaire was compiled and distributed among 237 employees of thermal electricity subsidiaries. The final model was validated by the structural equation modeling method and the appropriateness of the model was confirmed in fitting the collected data. The results showed that the structural dimensions of talent management include six dimensions of organizational structure, recruitment system, training system, service compensation system, management and performance evaluation system, and organizational strategy. Behavioral dimensions include the three dimensions of organizational culture, leadership style and meeting high-level needs, and contextual dimensions include the atmosphere and environment of the organization and the external environment. The proposed three-dimensional model can be effective in line with the policies and decisions of managers in the process of attracting, developing and maintaining talents.
Extended Abstract
Introduction
Organizations have well understood that they need to have the best talents in order to succeed in the complex global economy and survive in the competitive business environment. Also, organizations have realized that these intellectual capitals are vital resources that require management in order to achieve the best results (Mahmudi et al, 2022). In the past, talent management was assigned to the human resources unit as a side responsibility, while today talent management is considered as an organizational task, which is the responsibility of all organizational units. Talent management is so important that it alone can be considered the heart of human resources (McDonnell et al, 2019).
Due to their high contribution and influence in the country's economy, state-owned companies are among the organizations that need to be specially addressed in the talent management process (Dehghaniyan et al, 2018). During the past few years, the country's electricity industry has faced problems in attracting, developing and maintaining organizational elites and talents, and also leaving a number of them for various reasons. This issue has; therefore, not only caused problems for the companies through the lack of human resources in these positions, but also, each of these people have carried their explicit and implicit knowledge out of the company, and damaged the organization from this point of view as well. Also, some talents want to have special privileges compared to other employees of the organization, for example, to receive more and better training, to have more flexible working hours (floating), and to enjoy more benefits (Shateri et al., 2016).
Based on this, the current research is looking for an answer to this question: What is the model of talent management in the specialized mother company of thermal power?
Theoretical Framework
Talent management is a continuous process that includes attracting and maintaining qualitative employees and developing their skills. This program is aimed at providing human capital to improve organizational performance through employee empowerment (King et al, 2021). Its purpose is to ensure the availability of talent and to place the right people in the right job at the right time based on the strategic goals of the business. Talent management includes all human resources, administrative and technological processes. It usually refers to things like choosing recruitment options, selection, recruitment, socialization, retention, development and deployment, which is accompanied by planning and analysis. In other words, talent management is related to the recruitment, development of employees and management processes, and can be described as "talent optimization" (Froese et al, 2020).
Montero Guerra et al, (2023) investigated the impact of digital transformation on talent management processes. Their results showed that organizational changes caused by digital transformation affect talent management and attracting and retaining talents.
Mahmudi et al, (2022) investigated the role of talent management in organizational succession among physical education managers in Tehran. The results of the research findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between talent management and its dimensions of attracting and identifying talents, selecting and hiring talents, developing talents, employing talents, retaining and maintaining talents, the attitude and approach of talent management with the performance of succession planning, and the results of the research model showed that the use of talent was a stronger predictor than the succession. The results state that for the flourishing of talents and the formation of a unified Islamic-Iranian identity, the education organization requires the existence of talented and high-quality people and the training of suitable replacement forces based on the philosophy of Islamic-Iranian education.
Research methodology
According to its purpose, the research method is developmental-applicable, and in terms of execution method, it is mixed (qualitative-quantitative), and in terms of the data collection method, the qualitative part is exploratory-inductive and the quantitative part is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population of the research in the qualitative part includes 15 academic and industrial experts, and the dimensions of talent management in the form of structure, behavior and context, selected for the interview using purposeful sampling and in the form of snowball. The statistical population in the quantitative part includes 237 employees of thermal power subsidiaries who were selected using simple random sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect information in the qualitative part, and a researcher-made questionnaire taken from the qualitative part was used in the quantitative part.
Research findings
In the qualitative part of the comparative approach and content analysis, the final categories were identified using previous studies; and in the quantitative part, SPSS software was used for analysis and AMOS was used for structural equations. The results showed that the structural dimensions of talent management include six dimensions of organizational structure, recruitment system, training system, service compensation system, management system, performance evaluation, and organizational strategy. Behavioral dimensions include the three dimensions of organizational culture, leadership style, and meeting high-level needs; and contextual dimensions include the atmosphere and environment of the organization and the external environment. The results in the quantitative section showed that the model has a good fit.
 
Conclusion
The current research was conducted with the aim of designing a model of talent management in the specialized mother company of thermal power. The results of the present study are in agreement with the results of Montero Guerra et al, (2023), Mahmudi et al, (2022), Sotudeh arani et al, (2021), Haghghani (2021), Mahfozi et al, (2019), Moradi et al, (2022), and Won Yon (2020). Mahmudi et al, (2022) showed that a positive and significant relationship exists between talent management and its dimensions of attracting and identifying talents, selecting and hiring talents, developing talents, employing talents, retaining and maintaining talents, the attitude and approach of talent management on one side, and succession planning on the other, and based on the results of the research model, it was observed that the use of talent was a stronger predictor than succession planning. They also showed that for the flourishing of talents and the formation of a unified Islamic-Iranian identity in the education organization, it is necessary to have talented and high-quality people and to train suitable replacement forces based on the philosophy of Islamic-Iranian education.
According to the results obtained from the research, it is suggested:

To attract talent from within the organization through evaluation centers in the organization that periodically evaluate employees in terms of work and behavior and guide them in the field of performance management and career development.
To recruit from outside the organization, the selection and recruitment process should be focused on identifying talented graduates and applying the law of recruiting elites and preventing the entry of people who do not have the necessary qualifications.
The use of prominent professors to provide educational content; professors who, while having theoretical literacy, also have the required practical and applicable experience and have good abilities.
