Abstract
Over the last years the outspread of Favoritism and nepotism in Nigeria began developing in menacing proportions there through jeopardizing the country’s social and economic development. At this time in Nigeria Favoritism and nepotism were practically not analyzed as an organizational phenomenon. Traditionally they were considered to be sociocultural phenomena and were mainly studied by historians, political analysts, sociologists and psychologists. In this regard a lot of undiscovered issues of the reasons, consequences and ways to counter stand these trends in an organization have been recently brought up. These are those vital problems the given article is devoted to. The social and economic situation in today’s Nigeria predetermines opportunities for Favoritism and nepotism’s intensive development. The formal institution’s acceptable confidence level and the level of interpersonal credibility in Nigeria are very low what certainly brings to well-being of various unofficial institutions giving rise to Favoritism and nepotism and hence, corruption at all levels of governance. The present article illustrates that just nepotism quite often creates opportunities for simulation of superior positions and even the whole departments for close relatives what inevitably brings about organizational effectiveness degrading. The author comes to conclusion that further advancement of Favoritism and nepotism leads to «brain drain» from Nigeria what altogether puts the country’s social and economic development at hazard.
