Abstract
As institutions operate in a competitive market, there are always unexpected changes and difficulties that complicate academic and administrative positions and achieve key organizational goals and objectives. This paper aimed to assess the link of sustainable talent management practices on employee job satisfaction in the higher education sector located in North Lebanon and to reinforce this relationship by taking into account the mediating effect of the organizational culture. A structured questionnaire has been distributed to study a research sample of 200 randomly selected workers from ten public and private Lebanese institutions. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the presented hypotheses. The findings indicated a strong and significant positive relationship between the sustainable talent management practices and employee’s job satisfaction, whereas organizational culture had a mediation effect on the relationships between independent variables, with a statistically significant positive impact, and a statistically significant negative indirect effect relationship between knowledge sharing and employee’s job satisfaction. The study engages a fit model to clarify the relationship between sustainable talent management practices and employee’s job satisfaction. Hence, the study encourages organizations to take advantage of sustainable talent management practices within their institutions to further develop their competitive achievement along with the satisfaction of their employees.

Summary
Lebanon’s education system is undergoing a huge and severe financial crisis, and various colleges have implemented austerity measures such as budget shrinking, reducing the number of personnel, salary freezes, and equipment limits. In such cases, the teachers and employees feel intimidated since they may lose their jobs, pay, or job satisfaction. All other responsibilities are within the hands of every institution’s body It has been represented by more than 60% of all students enrolled in higher education [1]. In 2018, the rate of tertiary graduates was predicted to be over 80% of the population This high rate was on the edge of being drastically reduced. This is owing to the country suffering unparalleled financial and economic catastrophe, which began in 2019 [2]
