EFFECT OF TALENT MANAGEMENT IN IMPROVING DIGITAL EDUCATION: A STUDY OF ABU DISTANCE LEARNING CENTER

Abstract

The study examines the impact of talent management on enhancing digital education at Ahmadu Bello
University (ABU) Distance Learning Center, Nigeria. Employing a quantitative research design, a survey
of 217 staff members yielded a 91% response rate. Key findings indicate that competitive salary practices
significantly enhance talent management, effective Learning Management Systems (LMS) positively
influence talent management, employee development opportunities strengthen talent management, and
digital education significantly boosts capacity building. The study recommends that implementing market
driven salary structures, upgrading LMS technology, instituting structured career progression programs,
and expanding digital education infrastructure will foster institutional excellence and workforce resilience
at ABU distance learning centers.
