Nepotism that is a favoritism to some specific people in workplace is a vicious word to many of the workers and it is a boon to some workers. I, too myself in my career life was suffered a lot due to this nepotism even though I was doing the best part of my performance and an outstanding job in any organisation. People like me, those who used to do their performance rather than appeasing the immediate boss personally, are suffering in their day-to-day career life. Either by religion, gender, caste, race, linguistical or personal relationship or in some other forms (like joining with for corruption, Sex…) which cannot be written in book openly, the favoritism spreads through various parts of the World in various industries and various fields. The workers they want these favoritism used to keep their eyes only on the boss(The Godfather in Job) rather than their job responsibilities. They take any measures in any means to soothe and please the “GodFather” personally. The “Godfathers” pay a preferential treatment back to the workers who pleased them personally. This nepotism is a common phenomenon happened in MNCs and corporate companies at the time of Appraisal, Increment, Promotion and Layoff.
These type of attitude can be motivational one or by chance. But on anyways, it creates an unjust politics in the working environment and negatively can impact a company's culture and growth. But unfortunately from bottom to top the entire systems are functioning like this. It kills the real value, conscience and morale of genuine hard worker and performer but at the same time it induces non-perfomer to do any immoral work to appease his Boss. In a statistical survey, it has been said more than 85% of the workers experienced either negatively or favorably such type of nepotism in their organisations.
When an employee is not treated according to his or her performance or hardwork and somebody who is a poor performer but gets a preferential treatment, it is an injustice, immorality and malignancy like prostitution as he or she pay for his or her pleasures in an illegal way.
The pains in the mind of dejected genuine workers cannot be expressed in writing. No such employee wants to deal with or respect a boss who plays this nepotism politics. I never respected these kinds of bosses. But for heaven sake, I worked honestly and sincerely for the organisations. This kind of immature nepotism spoils the relationship among employees, employees' motivation and engagement, causes resentment and encourages disrespect. It creates a unpleasant politics within employees which the bosses would like to enjoy for spying the employees.
When favoritism and nepotism have a negative impact on teamwork, communication, employee relationships and work performance, rewards and promotions are not based on objective criteria but only based on personal interest, it will discourage competition in job and affect team morale. Mostly in countries like India, this nepotism is found on either caste or liguistical or religious basis. Also some managers practice it for involving in corruption and sex.
I feel that this Favoritism is a fascism and like prostitution none another than that.
“To show partiality is not good, but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.” (Proverbs 28:21)
“‘Hear the cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the alien who is with him. You shall not be partial in judgment. You shall hear the small and the great alike.” (Deuteronomy 1:16)
