Abstract
Description
Background: Talent engagement is increasingly gaining the attention
of pharmaceutical industry, particularly in developing nations like
Nigeria. The existing literature shows that the subject of workplace
management initiatives and talent engagement in the Nigerian
pharmaceutical industry has not been sufficiently researched. This

on talent engagement in some selected pharmaceutical companies in
Nigeria.
Methods: In total, 600 respondents were surveyed across various
departments and units of ten selected pharmaceutical companies in
Nigeria using multiple sampling techniques. Only 429 copies of the
questionnaire, representing a 71.5% response rate, were returned
and analyzed using Smart PLS 3.0.
Results: The outcomes of the statistical analysis show that
recognition, employees’ wellbeing, learning and development as well
as diversity and inclusion had significant influence on talent,
emotional, cognitive and behavioural engagements.
Conclusions: In line with the statistical results, the study concludes
that workplace management initiatives influenced talent engagement.
The study emphasized the need for the review of many workplace
management initiatives in order to determine its suitability within the
context of pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria.
