In response to the rapid growth and competitive pressures faced by private colleges and universities in Xi’an, China, this study examines the critical roles of talent management and organizational culture in enhancing educational employee performance. The primary objective is to assess how talent management practices and organizational culture impact employee performance, and to explore the mediating role of organizational culture in this relationship. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from a sample of 540 educators across Xi’an’s private institutions, with structural equation modeling (SEM) applied to analyze the relationships among the variables. The findings indicate that both talent management and organizational culture have significant, positive effects on employee performance, with organizational culture serving as a crucial mediator that amplifies the influence of talent management on performance outcomes. This study contributes to the field by providing empirical evidence specific to the unique context of Xi’an’s private higher education sector, highlighting the need for an integrated approach to talent management and cultural development to drive employee engagement and institutional success.
