A study was conducted to assess the validity and reliability of the Talent Management Strategy Measurement Instrument (MyBakat) in the public sector in Malaysia using the Rasch model analysis method. This study involved 100 respondents consisting of federal public officials from the Management and Professional category Grade 41 to Grade 54. The content validity index is 1.00 which shows that this instrument is suitable for use. Ten types of Rasch model analysis measurements were used to evaluate the MyBakat instrument. Individual analysis showed that a total of 42 respondents were dropped and only 58 respondents were accepted and analyzed together with 25 items in MyBakat. Meanwhile, item analysis shows that two items was dropped, namely item Q5 for the Talent Acquisition construct and Q24 for the Talent Retention construct. The results of the study propose MyBakat with 23 items as a precise, valid and reliable instrument to measure talent management strategies in the public sector.
