Abstract: This study analyses various factors' impact on female employees' perceptions of talent management practices. These factors include trust, self-efficacy, organisational support, job satisfaction, and competence, affecting intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. By employing quantitative methodology with a non-probability convenience sampling approach, 438 responses were gathered from women employed full-time in five-star hotels in Antalya, Turkey. The findings validate the links between motivation, job satisfaction, and staff retention. Moreover, trust in management, self-efficacy, institutional support, and competence are positively associated with intrinsic motivation. However, job satisfaction does not influence extrinsic motivation. The study enhances the theoretical groundwork of talent management, which is crucial for strategic implementation and achieving goals.

Keywords: talent management; organisational support; motivation; female employees' perception; job satisfaction in the hospitality sector; Turkey.
