“…First, isolated workplace nepotism is an intentionally harmful act undertaken by a dominant group of employees against other employees of a subordinate group (Hoch & Seyberth, 2021). Second, small-group workplace nepotism is an intentionally harmful act undertaken by a few dominant groups of employees against employees of subordinate groups without the sanction of the larger organisation.…”

In recent times, workplace nepotism has become a prevalent issue facing small, medium and large companies; hence, it has turned out to be a major discussion among management practitioners and researchers. Besides, while we acknowledged the plentiful studies on workplace nepotism and employees’ job satisfaction nexus, there is limited literature on whether nepotism in the workplace does affect employees’ job satisfaction among healthcare companies in Nigeria. In view of the above, this study assessed workplace nepotism and employees’ job nexus of selected healthcare companies in Nigeria. The study used a sample of three hundred and ten (310) respondents, which were selected via a purposive sampling technique. Data obtained were analysed using descriptive (mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, and Pearson correlation), diagnostic (variance inflation factor) and inferential (multiple regression) statistical tools. Findings indicated significant and negative relationships between workplace nepotism dimensions (gender and ethnic divides) and employees’ job satisfaction. Given the findings, it was recommended that the management of healthcare companies should strive towards overseeing the divides in gender and ethnicity so as to cushion the effect on employees’ job satisfaction. Additionally, there is a need for healthcare companies’ management to set up measures aimed at fitting the divides in gender and ethnicity in order to encourage harmony among employees.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of different diversity criteria (age and gender) on team performance using a business simulation game, where performance is operationalized by market valuation (Tobin’s Q) and profitability (cumulative net income). Design/methodology/approach The authors collected data of a business simulation game at a German public university (128 student groups and 645 individuals). Using multiple linear regression models, they investigated the impact of the different diversity criteria on team performance. Findings The authors found no significant effects of gender diversity on market valuation and profitability. However, the results of this study indicate a positive relationship between age diversity and both performance variables. Originality/value This paper contributes to the debate on the relationship between diversity and team performance by using data from a business simulation game. This study adds value by considering different diversity factors, objective performance indicators and the endogeneity of team formation (the seminar leaders randomly assign students to teams) which has not been applied in similar studies yet. Because of the setting of a simulated business game, the results could also be applied to the real economy where we observe working teams every day.
