Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the existence of nepotism in Ireland today and it also looks to investigate whether it is an ethical practice or not. To achieve this study a survey consisting of fifteen questions relating to nepotism was issued as a data collecting method. They survey was distributed to a small population of seventy-two people whereby all of the responses were used and analysed to contribute to this study. As this research is both quantitative and qualitative in nature, one interview was also conducted in order to gain a better overview of the overall research topic. The results of the research revealed that nepotism does in fact still exist within Ireland, but the hypothesis of whether it is ethical remains unproven due to the interpretive nature of this study.
