8 Talent Management, Responsible Staff www. jsstm-ump. org The results of the study hypothesis tests - Talent management in the studies organization has not impact on the human resources motivation component. The amount of t-value related to this component, also shows that is not significant correlation between talent management with human resources motivation. To overcome this gap, it is recommended that in this organization identified talented staff and expresses them. Talent attraction system, evaluation system and the discovery of talent, talent training and development system and talent retention system should be planned so that the individual's sense of belonging towards their work and be sensitive to it. Talent management should help from the perspective of the employee that his job has a special place in the organization and in this case would be very sensitive person to carry out their duties properly. - Talent management in the study organization has impact on the component of human resources satisfaction. Also value of t statistics related to this component also shows that is significant correlation between talent management with human resources satisfaction. This results show the talent management in the organization has led to a feeling of satisfaction from a job. People job creates a feeling of prestige job for him and the individual's sense of peace of mind with these jobs. In this way, employees expect in this job increase growth and development of qualified staff. These criteria are very valuable to the organization and should be more efforts to protect and promote them. - Talent management in the study organization has impact on the component of human resources creative. The amount of t-value related to this component, also shows that is significant correlation between talent management with human resources creativity. Thus, talent management within the organization makes employees feel that employment in this job is effective in discovering their talents, and employment in this job is effective in optimum using of talents of individual employees. In this way, an increased tendency to change and acceptance of change and desire and many will be able to accept the new changes. Such a bold spirit is essential to creativity and innovation in organizations. - The result of the structural model that the relationship between talent management with component of tendency to human resources training show the little correlation, but since the amount of t-value related to this component obtained 1.87, which is smaller than 1.96, Therefore, is not significant correlation was observed between talent management with tendency to human resources training. Thus, talent attraction system, evaluation system and the discovery of talent, talent training and development system and talent retention system should be designed so that staffs are followed by specific weaknesses in their job to trying to fix them cope. If people in four stages of talent management placed in decent work and feel the job is to develop their individual skills, then, will increase efforts to gain skills and job knowledge. Furthermore, in organization carried out a proper planning of educational programs. - Talent management in the study organization is effective on the component of human resources responsibility.

Moreover, t-value related to this component shows that the correlation between talent management and retention of human resources is not significant. Thus, talent management is essential in all organizations, and should not be carried out only to be done, but should be a tool that helps management in improving the performance and improvement of human resources to employees do not look another job as an alternative their job. 083
