Abstract: This study examined the influence of Talent Management on the organizational performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in South-South Nigeria. The research was grounded in human capital theory. A descriptive research survey approach was employed, with a population of 1,480 employees from selected SMEs in South-South Nigeria. A sample size of 343 employees was determined using the Borg and Gall formula. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.The findings revealed that talent management significantly influences organizational performance in the studied SMEs. It was concluded that effective talent management positively impacts business success. Based on these results, the study recommends continuous training for both employees and management of SMEs, as well as regular assessments of organizational management in terms of human and material resources for sustainable growth. Furthermore, talent management practices should be integrated throughout human resources management to ensure the recruitment and retention of the right talent, which is crucial for achieving organizational objectives and long-term success.
