Abstract: The study examined the relationship between talent management and organizational success at selected manufacturing firms in Akwa Ibom State. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design. The population of the study consisted of two hundred and forty-eight (248) staff of manufacturing firms in Akwa Ibom State. The sample size was 153 staff using Taro Yamenes sampling technique. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The hypotheses were tested using ordinal logistic regression through the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 23.0. The findings revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between competency mapping and organizational success (CM, 3.246, PV= 0.002) training & development and organizational success (T&D,3.298, PV = 0.000). Based on the findings, the study concluded that talent management is related to organizational success and thus recommended that management should engage in competency mapping by focusing on skill identification and auditing staff performance for improvement. They should engage in training and development using on-the-job and off-the-job training to improve the competence of staff of manufacturing companies in Akwa Ibom State.
