Nepotism

: 8

Nepotism is the practice of giving jobs or other favors to relatives or close friends, often without regard to their qualifications.

If you choose an unfit person for your job just because you love and you like him, he will lead you to endless follies.

Nepotism is best understood as a behavioral pattern and a norm-violating social practice that can also be classified as a mechanism of resource allocation within social systems—often informal, biased, and contrary to institutionalized rules of fairness or merit.
