The data shows that the practice of nepotism is still common. Not only in the political environment of government, Nepotism occurs in various scopes, including within the scope of corporate organizations. Nepotism and favoritism in the company will give birth to unfair and biased competition.

Based on Law No. 28 of 1999, Nepotism is defined as any act of a State Organizer against the law that benefits the interests of his family and/or cronies above the interests of the community, nation and state. Nepotism can also be interpreted as bias in groups based on kinship.

According to our visiting lecturer, Dr. Omar K. Burhan, in addition to procedurally unfair, nepotism can also be in the form of distributively unfair, where there is no socially fair allocation of resources between members in the organization. Although it certainly has a negative impact on the organization, according to Dr. Omar K Burhan, “Like Father Like Son”, Nepotism seems to have become a natural culture so that it will definitely exist and is difficult to eradicate.
