Abstract
Examines the relationship between nepotism and various organizational characteristics (size, ownership, and geographic region) in certain organizations in two countries – Jordan and Egypt. Results indicated that HRMs in large organizations, the public sector and urban regions reported higher levels of nepotism than their rural counterparts in smaller, medium‐sized organizations, in the private sector.
