Abstract: | Drawing from knowledge sharing and social exchange theory, the paper explores the connection between talent development and knowledge-sharing mechanisms. Based on a preliminary investigation of reviewing the learning experience and career development of 20 Chinese HR practitioners, the findings confirm that incorporating a knowledge-sharing socialization mechanism with talent development programs has a nurturing and supporting effect on learning and development. The mechanism can be used to facilitate organization-wide knowledge sharing and support both organization-led and self-managed talent development programs. |
