Abstract/Summary

This research paper investigates the impact of nepotism on organizational resilience in family-owned and non-family-owned businesses across different regions. A survey was conducted, encompassing 30 family-owned businesses and 30 non-family-owned businesses, resulting in 262 responses from family-owned businesses and 77 responses from non-family-owned businesses. The study explores the prevalence of nepotism and its consequences in various parts of the world, however, it focuses on selected enterprises from the National Capital Region (NCR) in the Philippines. It highlights the unique challenges faced by family-owned businesses, such as succession planning and managing family dynamics, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of non-family-owned businesses in terms of talent and resources. The research findings suggest that while nepotism exists, its dimensions do not significantly affect organizational resilience. Strategies employed in different regions to combat nepotism and promote employee resilience, such as fostering trust, improving diversity and inclusion, and implementing transparent recruitment and promotion systems, are discussed. This study contributes to the understanding of nepotism and resilience issues worldwide, providing insights into the challenges faced by businesses and highlighting strategies for promoting fairness, transparency, and meritocracy. The results underscore the need for proactive measures to manage the negative effects of nepotism and foster a fair and equitable work environment.
