Abstract :
One of the newest approaches in the discussion of talent management is to consider the issues of diversity in it. Given the novelty of combining these two concepts, the aim of this study is to provide a model of talent management in which the issue of diversity is considered. Therefore, the comprehensive model was extracted using the Grounded theory method and the glaser approach. With the purposeful sampling method, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 managers of consulting engineering companies in the electricity industry, until theoretical saturation was achieved. The software used to encode the data was Maxqda version 10. According to the model, the main process was known as diversity-based talent management, which includes four processes: strategic convergence, recruitment, development and the use of diverse talent. The main reasons include: leadership style and changing the demographic composition of the workforce, factors related to the causes include: manager's belief in non-discrimination, organizational culture, economic factors, minority competence, manager's personal characteristics and manager's mentality of talent management based on Diversity, context of study including: competitive environment, conflict management and positive beliefs in the minority, requirements including: governance factors, nature of task, organizational capital, organizational memory, organizational structure, technology and personal communication skills, mediating factors including: organizational justice, Organizational creativity, psychological capital was obtained.
