Purpose: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the influence of some elements of talent management such as: - (Financial Rewards, Recognition for the work done, Career Development Opportunities) on employee intention to leave (i.e. on academic staffs) among the private universities in Istanbul. Methods: Through an electronic questionnaire data was collected. As the data was collected from Likert scale, however was in ordinal format. To begin the analysis, the ordinal data format was transformed to interval data using MSI in Excel. Successive Interval Method is a method by which the ordinal data can be transformed to Interval Data. In our case, as the data was ordinal it was needed to be changed to interval data to perform Pearson correlation and linear regression. After transforming the data, we used Multiple Linear Regression and Pearson correlation. Linear regression is a powerful tool for testing theories about relationships among observables, and it is also helpful for researchers interested in the predictive power of a set of variables (Salkind, 2007). This test was appropriate because it measures the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Results: The analysis has been conducted based on some Likert scale questions driven from factors of talent management such were; financial rewards, recognition from work done, career development on employee intent to leave. Data as a result were collected by conducting a survey with a random sample (n = 55) of employees. At the end of the analysis the result reflected that employee's intention to leave was significantly lower when the score of having proper financial rewards and career opportunities were higher. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it was observed that the Financial Rewards and Career Development Opportunities are significant at affecting the employee intention to leave. Whereas, Recognition For the work done was not significant at affecting the employee intention to leave. Based on the results, it can be emphasized that the HR department should significantly focus on these two components of talent management in order to retain the talent of organization.
