The Role of Talent Management in Mediating the Influence of Innovation and Dynamic Capabilities on the Performance of Cultural Economic Actors in the Palu Valley

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the role of talent management as a mediating variable in the influence of innovation and dynamic capabilities on the performance of cultural economic actors in the Palu Valley. The background of this study is based on the phenomenon of low cultural economic performance in Central Sulawesi, as reflected in the decline in the Cultural Development Index (CDI), particularly in the cultural economic dimension, which has not been able to utilise the potential of local arts and wisdom optimally. This study uses a quantitative approach with cultural economic actors who are members of arts and cultural communities in the Palu Valley region, including Palu City, Donggala Regency, and Sigi Regency. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires. The results of this study are expected to show that innovation and dynamic capabilities have a positive effect on the performance of cultural economic actors, both directly and indirectly through talent management. Effective talent management is believed to strengthen the ability of cultural actors to manage creative potential, adapt to environmental changes, and increase the competitiveness of the local wisdom-based economy. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of culture-based human resource management literature. At the same time, it can serve as a basis for formulating policies to strengthen the cultural economy sector in the Palu Valley sustainably.
