The research adopted the descriptive analytical approach and the questionnaire used as a tool to collect data. There were samples collected from (217) participants included in the research from both administrators and supervisors for the year 2018 - 2019. The statistical methods used in analyzing data included: Cronbach's alpha, iterations, Arithmetic means, Percentages and Standard deviation through the Statistical Package Program (SPSS). The results showed that the reality of practicing talent management at Sohar University (attracting talented people, managing their performance, developing and maintaining them) was indefinite as there is no autonomous administration within the university and all the proceedings within the human resources management at the university. Neither is there an effective talent management practice in the change management process. Therefore, providing a clear strategy to talent management is urgently needed to facilitate a more competitive nature of the institution in an ever competitive world of quality higher educational service.
