1.1BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The effect of nepotism on recruitment process in the civil service commission, Imo state, Owerri is found within the broad area of personnel management. It is the duty of the personnel department in any organization to recruit human. The effect of nepotism on recruitment will make the recruitment not to undergo the normal process in the civil service commission.
That is, to employ based on the tribe without considering the procedures, for recruitment.
According to Nwosu (1998:9) Nepotism is the process of giving unfair advantages to your own family, if you are in position of power especially by giving them jobs.
“Nepotism” according to Stoner (1978:9) is an act of doing things in an unfair manner or improper ways of handling some position in public sector.The purpose of recruitment is based on its needs to find qualified candidates to fill existing vacancies in an organization which includes individual achievement and development.It also aims at building a strong organization where effective team work and individuals are reclined at the same time.
Thus, we have two sources of recruitment in the civil service commission which includes internal and external sources of recruitment. Every organization must adopt recruitment policies, which are equally used for the achievements of objectives of the organization which will enable her to achieve aims of recruitment.
