“…Although traditionally nepotism is perceived as a demonstration of favouritism toward family members during the recruitment process or during promotion (Pelletier and Bligh, 2008, p. 828), some authors associate this phenomenon with discrimination (e.g., Jones et al, 2008;Erden and Otken, 2019;Hoang and Huynh, 2020). That is, with the restriction and inequality of opportunities for some employees, which is based on certain social norms, when one group is shown favour and patronage, the rest perceive it as unjust behaviour.…”

This study seeks to determine the effect of nepotism and favouritism on organisational climate. Using the method of random sampling, 269 persons working in Lithuanian organisations were surveyed. The received data was analysed via the application of the methods of correlation and linear regression. It was determined that organisational climate is influenced significantly by variables such as the manager’s behaviour, safety and relationships with employees, values and traditions, communication, sharing of information, behaviour of employees, and interrelationships and tolerance of one another. Meanwhile, nepotism and favouritism are influenced by the lower number of climate variables (fear related to the absence of concreteness and security, such as joining an organisation, union and tolerance of individuals who have shared interests). This work fills the void in the knowledge of connections that nepotism and favouritism have with organisational climate, drawing attention to the mutual interaction between these phenomena. The article presents a discussion and the research limitations, and provides guidelines for further research.
