Abstract
The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between the acknowledgment of team member's talents and his/her effectiveness in construction projects. Talents were investigated in terms of ability, aspiration, and engagement dimensions while effectiveness was measured by both, the satisfaction and the communication dimensions. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires on the contracting companies who are executing large building construction. Multiple linear regression was used to test the main hypothesis. The results showed a statistically significant relation between acknowledgment of a team member's talent and his/her effectiveness in performing their day-to-day tasks. The results of this research may serve as a motive for top management to lead their organization toward the adoption of talent management concept in which a clear definition of desired talents is required and a road map to talent acknowledgment is provided.;The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between the acknowledgment of team member's talents and his/her effectiveness in construction projects.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
