Abstract:

Knowledge worker shortages are well documented and worsening in many nations. This paper explores

the responses of Human Resource Organization Development (HROD) professionals regarding the issue.

Findings of a content analysis of the talent management literature are presented with a focus on the

research question: What talent management strategies will HROD scholars/practitioners adopt to

address shortages of key knowledge workers? Recommendations include a keen focus on retention and

development, as well as the need for more highly trained HROD professionals with a strategic focus to

manage the increasingly complex challenges.
