Abstract: Institutions are losing talented and skilled personnel to competitors because employees opine that their abilities and skills are not valued. There are also no practices in place where shortcomings pertaining to skills and competencies are addressed in order for them to do their jobs effectively especially for administrative staff in higher educational institutions. Hence, the main problem for these institutions is having a workforce that is not motivated to perform optimally. The challenge currently facing Namibian higher education institutions is for them to implement talent management practices successfully so that the workforce is motivated to do their job effectively and efficiently. Hence, adopting a cross-sectional research design with data collected from employees of a higher education institution in Namibia (N=109), the human capital index (HCI) and motivation questionnaire were administered and statistical analysis done with the aim to investigate talent management and motivation relationship at a higher education institution in Namibia.
