Description
Summary:Sustainable development of talent refers to the establishment of institutionalized, standardized, and systematic stabilization measures and procedures based on scientific principles. A talent management system is a series of systematic, regular, and systematic practices instead of policy that is short-term, fragmented, and involves special measures and practices. As an effective means of policy analysis, talent policy instruments play a critical role in promoting the sustainable development of talent. This study constructs an analytical framework from the dimensions of policy instruments, policy targets, and policy strength to examine the policy sustainability. It selects 30 talent policies issued by the Sichuan government as the research sample and uses ROST and NVivo software to quantify policy instruments, policy targets, and policy strength as analytical units. The results show that, in the supply-side policy instruments, many “capital investment” policy measures have been used, but the role of “talent information support” in the role of talent development has been neglected. Among the environmental policy instruments, “strategic measures” are used more frequently, and the economic leverage of “tax finance” has not been fully used. Among the demand-side policy instruments, “talent introduction” and “trade control” are used more frequently, but the application of “overseas talent agencies” remains unused. Policy targets focus on talent innovation and talent efficiency but pay less attention to talent flow, and policy strength is in line with strategic adjustments, but policies are not sufficiently sustainable. The formulation of regional talent policy should focus on the operability of policies, improve the structure of policy targets, and lead to sustainable development. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of policies and promote the sustainable development of talent.
