Abstract
This thesis explores internal strategic talent management (STM) of key positions at senior management level in An Garda Síochána (AGS), the national police service in the Republic of Ireland. Grounded in STM literature, the study’s overriding aim is to: explore the internal strategic talent management of key positions at senior level in the public sector, and specifically, AGS. Taking an interpretive position, the researcher describes the adopted qualitative case method. Informed by thematic analysis, the paper presents findings from 24 semi-structured interviews, underpinned by the critical incident technique. It identifies and discusses the talent pool of high potential intended participants, and presents an STM framework for use in the public sector policing environment. The paper concludes with the research contribution and research limitations before presenting paths to future studies.
