Nepotism

What is nepotizm?

Nepotism is a situation where relatives or friends receive privileges in the workplace, such as promotions or favorable working conditions, regardless of their professional merits.

For example, a manager may appoint a relative to a high position even though there are more suitable candidates. This causes resentment among colleagues who feel that their efforts are not appreciated.

Nepotism can erode trust, damage morale, and negatively affect the workplace culture. However, in some cases — especially in family-run businesses — hiring relatives is considered an accepted practice.

To prevent unfair advantages and maintain transparency, many companies establish clear hiring and promotion policies that ensure decisions are based on merit rather than personal relationships.
