Employment and the Impact of Nepotism in Human Resources
Session
Management Business and Economics
Description
The two interconnected problems nepotism and corruption damage economic growth and public institutions while breaking down the rule of law. Nepotism manifests when organizations give employment opportunities to family members and personal acquaintances instead of selecting candidates based on their professional qualifications. Nepotism and corruption together create an environment of unfair competition that damages public trust between citizens and investors which threatens democratic governance. The research investigates which elements support nepotism and corruption while studying their effects on organizations and economic performance of the nation. The research investigates how these phenomena directly influence personnel selection and career progression throughout economic and non-economic sectors including public administration and justice and labor market systems. The research establishes that corruption and nepotism create negative effects on economic growth and public service delivery quality. These practices block the career progression of qualified candidates while damaging democratic institutions that uphold democratic principles. These practices affect every level of public administration starting from central government down to municipal institutions. The research presents multiple strategies to minimize these problems through enhanced institutional oversight and legal frameworks and transparent administrative systems and civil society and media monitoring participation and ethical human resource management training that benefits national economic development.
