Technological turbulence in the business environment result in challenges that cannot be ignored, requiring effective strategic management. This necessitates the presence of talented human forces with high strategic performance that have the ability to develop and implement proactive strategies and balance competitive forces. The study aims to examine The Impact of Talent Management, Innovation, and Digital Transformation on Strategic Performance: A moderated Mediation Analysis at Information Technology Companies in King Hussein Business Park. The study collected data from 200 managers in top and middle management in Information Technology Companies through a prorated physical random sample, This paper utilized software (SPSS and Amos) to test hypotheses, according to the finding, the study found that talent management has a significant positive impact on strategic performance (? = 0.779, t = 7.466, p ? 0.000) and with explanatory capacity (R2 = 0.607), which means that 60.7% of the variance in talent management has been explained by strategic performance. Moreover, innovation partly mediates the relationship between talent management and strategic performance. In addition to the total normative impact of talent management in strategic performance with the presence of innovation (86.3%), this indicates that there is a partial impact of innovation on the impact of talent management in strategic performance. In addition, digital transformation was modifying the relationship between talent management and strategic performance. This paper contributes to the existing collection of knowledge and literature on the impact of talent management, innovation and digital transformation on the strategic performance advantage of IT companies at King Hussein Business. Organizations can integrate innovation and digital transformation into their operations to improve strategic performance and achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
