Greetings,

My name is Lawrence Abiwu, a doctoral student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in the School of Management, IT and Governance. My email address is 214576492@ukzn.ac.za. Prof. Isabel De A. Martins is my supervisor, who is also located at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in the School of Management, IT and Governance. You are being invited to consider participating in a study that involves research into “Intangible Outcomes of Talent Management Practices in Selected South African Higher Education Institutions”. The aim and purpose of this research is to investigate the intangibles-intellectual capital of TM in HEIs including organisational trust, employee engagement, creativity and innovation, collaboration, research and teaching and employee humility. In addition, the study seeks to develop a TM conceptual model that will assist HEIs to attract, develop and retain high performing academics. The study is expected to include 347 research participants from selected HEIs in South Africa, namely:  University of Cape Town (UCT), University of Pretoria (UP) and University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). The study will draw 116 participants from each institution with the exception of UP, where 115 participants will be selected.
