Abstract
This study examines the impact of talent management practices on the performance of elementary school teachers in Chennai city, with a specific focus on the role of workplace culture and professional development. In the evolving educational environment, enhancing teacher performance has become essential for improving overall educational quality and student outcomes.
The study adopts a descriptive research design and is based on primary data collected from 120 elementary school teachers using a structured questionnaire. A stratified random sampling technique is employed to ensure representation from different types of schools. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, correlation, regression analysis, ANOVA, and chi-square tests are used to analyse the data and test the hypotheses.
The analysis reveals that talent management practices, workplace culture, and professional development have a significant positive impact on teacher performance. Correlation and regression results indicate strong relationships and effects between the variables, while chi-square analysis confirms the association between workplace culture and performance. The combined effect analysis shows that these factors together explain a substantial variation in teacher performance, with professional development emerging as the most influential factor.
The study concludes that a holistic approach integrating effective talent management practices, a supportive workplace culture, and continuous professional development is essential for enhancing the performance of elementary school teachers. Educational institutions in Chennai city should prioritize these areas to achieve improved teaching effectiveness and better educational outcomes.
