“NEPOTISM”

Evolved from Greek word “NEPO” means Nephew.

NEPOTISM is reffing professional favorites with family members in business or politics or Corporate.

In our case -When one uses a position of power or authority to influence the hiring or promotion process of spouse, partner, sibling, child or other relative can be defined as Nepotism.

COMMON TWO SECTOR OF HRM WHERE NEPOTISM IS PRACTICED MOSTLY:

*Nepotism in RECRUITMENT and SELECTION:

Success of an organization is mostly dependent on its workforce. And HR department apply the recruitment and selection function to hire employees for the particular organization. If nepotism is practiced to hire an employee instead of hiring qualified employees, of course the result of it will be negative for that organization.

If a non- competitive person is employed:

* Business Goals will not be achieved.

*Productivity will be reduced.

*Employees will not be satisfied.

*Employee's turnover rate will high.

*Nepotism in PROMOTION:

The person should be promoted who has the capability to handle the activities of a particular post and to handle the subordinates as well. If nepotism is in there instead of promoting the capable or right person, surely organization will fail to meet their goal.

               If nepotism in promotion:

*Conflict will arise.

*Dissatisfaction among Employee.

*Performance will be reduced.

WAYS TO STOP NEPOTISM IN WORK PLACE:

1. Qualifications should be considered.

2. The person is not having enough quality should be rejected. 

3. Responsibility of an Human Resource Management officer should not becompromised.

4. The Unequal performance should be reviewed.

5. Unprofessional behavior must be stopped.

6. The job skier must have ethical mentality.

Ethical Activities in HRM filed (Current scenario):

Feminism is mostly practicing in western countries like Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands rather than the Asian countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, India. Women are getting same facilities (sometimes more than men) comparing with men in  the organizations as employees in those feminist countries which can be addressed as very much ethical activity in Human Resource Management field.
