Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to provide a brief review of the work on startup survival and a conceptual framework of factors influencing a startup firm’s survival. In addition, it lists significant gaps and recommends avenues for future research.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper conducted a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCO databases using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A total of 140 articles published in 72 journals between 1993 and 2021 were considered for the review.
Findings
The comprehensive review revealed that most of the studies have applied a single theoretical lens and have taken place in advanced economies, with a narrow focus on emerging economies. Empirical research has prominently applied regression-based models to analyse the relationship between the antecedents and the outcomes. Internal resources such as human capital, financial capital and physical capital and non-financial performance measures such as survival, growth and employment are the studies’ prominently used antecedents and outcome variables. However, a limited number of studies have used mechanisms of mediation and moderation.
Originality/value
Despite the substantial scientific and practical discussion on startup survival, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no comprehensive review has been undertaken to date, which provides a systematic and comprehensive compilation of the knowledge on the topic. This study aims to develop a unique landscape of scientific advancement by methodically reviewing, categorising and synthesising the current body of knowledge on the topic.

Abstract
Purpose
The key aspect of this study is the mediating role of innovation in the relationship between talent management (TM) and organizational performance (OP).
Design/methodology/approach
A structural equation model with AMOS software is used to gauge the impact of TM on innovation and OP. In this regard, innovation is the mediating variable of the model. The author uses Hayes PROCESS macro for SPSS (Hayes, 2018) and the mediating procedure of Baron and Kenny's model (1986).
Findings
Results show that innovation is a full mediating variable that captures the whole variance of the model in the relationship between TM and OP.
Practical implications
The results of this study are important for organizations since they emphasize the need to adapt TM strategies to innovation and improvement in the organization. This involves not only managers and their training and development plans but also employees in their attraction, development and retention strategies.
Originality/value
The originality of this study is that it explores the causal relationship between the three variables considered in the model, that is, TM, innovation and OP. These relationships evidence gaps in human resource management and TM literature, improving current understanding of the role of innovation in the organizational context.
