Considerable research has performed to link the individual development strategies into organizational performance, but less is known about the role of talent management and career development in enhancing the organizational effectiveness. In the current study, we investigate how talent management and career development direct or indirect effect organizational effectiveness. Moreover, the present study also pursues to test the mediating role of employee engagement in the association between talent management and organizational effectiveness, and career development and organizational effectiveness. Using the survey method, data was collected from permanent employees of commercial banks and the proposed model was tested through structural equation modeling in AMOS. The results suggest that talent management has a substantial effect on employee engagement and organizational effectiveness. Career development has a significant effect on employee engagement and organizational effectiveness. Moreover, employee engagement significantly mediates the relationship between individual development practices (talent management and career development) and organizational effectiveness. The present study guides the bank's management to focus on individual development practices and offer development opportunities to their employees for creating competitive advantage and boosting organizational performance. Finally, the study implications and future research directions are discussed.
