Resumo

This study analyzes the relationship between talent development and the building of smart organizations and examines its impact on organizational performance, with an applied focus on the Iraqi Ministry of Communications. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 85 employees, with 78 valid responses analyzed. Statistical techniques, including mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression, were employed using SPSS and AMOS after confirming the reliability and validity of the research instrument. The findings indicate that the Ministry demonstrates a commitment to human resource development through training and professional development initiatives; however, there remains a need to expand the focus toward future-oriented skills and to enhance employee empowerment for more effective leadership roles. The results confirm a statistically significant relationship between talent development and the development of smart organizational capabilities. The study concludes that sustained investment in human capital is essential for achieving organizational sustainability and excellence and recommends adopting strategic talent development policies and strengthening analytical and predictive capabilities to enable the Ministry to anticipate environmental and technological changes and enhance its transformation into a smart and resilient organization.
