Nepotism as a Negative Factor in Organization Performance

Abstract

Nepotism in the work place has its pro and contra. In this paper nepotism it will be seen as a negative factor in the organization performance, although there are different opinions that nepotism not always has a negative impact for the organization performance. To prove this a research has been done in some companies from Dukagjini Region. Nepotism in itself is not considered a bad think if the companies hire qualified people but the research shows that nepotism in Kosovo companies is a negative factor and as such it negatively influence in the performance of the employees and of the organization. In Kosovo it seems that is not enough and necessary to have a degree and to be super qualified for the job you apply for but is indispensable to know an influential person who will help to find a job. The problem starts with a non transparent recruiting system and you will see yourself led by an unqualified and irresponsible person.
