This study investigates the causal relationships linking talent management and workload to employee performance under the moderating influence of perceived organizational support within a creative agency setting. Employing an explanatory quantitative design, primary data were gathered from all seventy five permanent personnel of PT Inspirasi Solusi Kreatif using total population sampling and analyzed via partial least squares structural equation modeling. The empirical findings reveal that talent management exerts a positive and statistically significant effect on employee performance, whereas workload demonstrates a significant negative influence. Moreover, perceived organizational support significantly strengthens the positive relationship between talent development and performance while simultaneously buffering the detrimental consequences of high job demands. These outcomes indicate that enterprises must integrate systematic competence building with balanced task distribution and active institutional backing to optimize workforce productivity and prevent professional burnout
