This conceptual paper explores the perceived organisational justice and potential ramifications of exclusive talent management (TM) practices for employees who are not included in corporate talent pools. This is an under-researched topic and the paper explores the relationship between an organisation’s exclusive talent management (TM) practices, employees’ perceptions of the fairness of the TM practices, and the corresponding impact on employee engagement. The paper proposes that in organisations pursuing exclusive TM programmes, employee perceptions of organisational justice of the exclusive TM practices may affect their employee engagement, which may influence both organisational and employee outcomes. Building on extant research, the paper presents a conceptual framework depicting the relationship between exclusive TM practices, organisational justice and employee engagement, with social exchange theory and equity theory as the framework’s foundation.
