More and more often organizations have to respond to challenges connected with the global flow of talented employees. This mainly applies to multinational organizations. Accordingly, this paper is an attempt to define the state of current research on global talent management (GTM) by means of a systematic literature review within the field of international human resource management (IHRM). In consecutive sections, the author discusses research methodology and the results of the review, including the importance of GTM, its essence, scope, and development as a separate concept as well as key empirical findings.

Współczesne organizacje coraz częściej stają w obliczu wyzwań związanych z przepływem utalentowanych pracowników, które niejednokrotnie mają wymiar globalny. W szczególności dotyczy to podmiotów działających w skali międzynarodowej. W związku z tym, podjęto próbę oceny aktualnego stanu wiedzy na temat globalnego zarządzania talentami (GTM) poprzez systematyczny przegląd literatury w obszarze międzynarodowego zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi. W szczególności omówiono metodykę badań, przedstawiono rezultaty przeprowadzonego przeglądu literatury na temat znaczenia GTM, jego istoty, zakresu oraz rozwoju jako odrębnej koncepcji, a także najważniejsze ustalenia oparte na empirii.
