Abstract

The main objective of this research was to determine whether leadership talent mind-set is a predictor of the motivation and retention of junior correctional officials. A cross-sectional research design was followed with a Talent Retention Measure, Employee Motivation Survey and Employee Retention questionnaire distributed among a sample of junior correctional officials (N=219). The results revealed that all talent management practices are currently poorly applied in correctional services. The respondents showed relatively high levels of intrinsic motivation. The results showed that all talent management practices were significantly related to motivation. Motivation moderated the relationship between talent management and turnover intentions of the participants. Recommendations are made.
