Purpose: There is a shortage of satisfactory empirical evidence confirming unequivocally that companies' efforts in the field of talent management have a positive impact on the attitudes and behavior of organizations' members. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to determine the impact of talent management practices on the work engagement of talented employees. Furthermore, the study verifies the role of perceived distributive justice as a mechanism explaining analysed relationship, as well as the role of perceived procedural justice as a factor determining the level of work engagement. Design/methodology/approach: Conclusions were drawn based on a survey involving 730 participants of talent management programmes from 33 companies. Findings: The conducted analyses showed that talent management practices have a direct and indirect impact on the work engagement of talented employees and that perceived procedural justice moderates the relationship between perceived distributive justice and work engagement. Research limitations/implications: There are a number of factors that can affect employees' reactions to talent management, including company policies, business strategies, and leadership styles of supervisors. It was beyond the scope of this study to investigate such factors, but this would be an interesting direction of future research. Practical implications: Managers can implement the talent management programmes with the confidence that they will enhance the work engagement of talented employees. It is important that the process of nominating and selecting employees for such a programme is objective and transparent, and that all candidates have equal opportunities. In addition to fostering talents, managers should show concern for other employees. In this way, organizations can stimulate a feeling of organisational support in the entire staff, while making disproportionate investments in human resources. Originality/value: The paper contributes to management science by deepening the understand-ing of employees' reactions to talent management and, consequently, extends knowledge about the results of this process at the individual level. This type of study seems necessary in the face of the growing number of authors who take for granted the positive impact of talent manage-ment on the attitudes and behavior of employees.(original abstract)
