Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nepotism refers to the practice of showing preference to one's relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs. This can create a conflict of interest in the workplace and may result in missed opportunities for equally qualified non-relation applicants. It can also potentially cause morale problems and a negative working environment.
