Abstract

This study examines the effect of succession planning on the organizational performance of brewery firms in Southeast Nigeria. Drawing on the High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) Framework, the research investigates five critical components of succession planning: mentoring, talent retention, employee training, talent management, and career development. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected from a sample of 303 employees, drawn from a population of 2,090 using the Borg and Gall formula. A structured questionnaire served as the primary data collection instrument, with face and content validity established through expert review and reliability confirmed via test-retest and Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the research questions, while hypotheses were tested using Simple Regression Analysis (SRA) through SPSS Version 23. Results revealed that all examined components had statistically significant positive effects on organizational performance: mentoring (β = .636, t = 16.431, p < 0.05), talent retention (β = .751, t = 22.613, p < 0.05), employee training (β = .679, t = 17.959, p < 0.05), talent management (β = .834, t = 29.023, p < 0.05), and career development (β = .762, t = 23.398, p < 0.05). The study concludes that well-structured succession planning enhances employee engagement, leadership continuity, and overall organizational performance. It recommends the implementation of formal mentoring programs, proactive talent retention strategies, and comprehensive career development pathways. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on human capital development, succession strategy, and organizational sustainability, offering both theoretical and practical insights for management practice within the brewery industry and related sectors.
