Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the influence of organizational commitment on succession readiness as well as the mediating role of employee development and talent management through the Individual Development Plan (IDP). Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA 2020 protocol, searches were conducted on Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, ProQuest, and Google Scholar for English-language publications in 2020–2025. Of the 375 articles identified, 30 met all inclusion criteria. The results of the review found that: (1) organizational commitment, especially the affective dimension, had a positive and significant effect on succession readiness; (2) employee development partially mediates the relationship between organizational commitment and succession readiness; (3) talent management through IDP partially mediates the relationship; and (4) there is a sequential mediation effect of OC → ED → TM/IDP → succession readiness. These findings provide important theoretical and practical implications for organizations in designing succession programs that are sustainable and based on individual competencies.
