Nepotism will be defined through the lens of human behaviours and psychological characteristics. Historical themes in human resource management and their relationship to family membership (broadly defined) in and around organizations will be the basis of this book. Other topics like legal issues, decision making and managerial roles in the family, career and job choices of family members, values and commitments of family vs. stakeholders, and conflict issues with family and other individuals will be covered.
Robert G. Jones is professor of psychology and department head at Missouri State University. After a first career in music and banking, Bob returned to school to get his PhD in industrial/organizational psychology from The Ohio State University in 1992. In this second career, Bob and his students, colleagues, and clients have dealt with a broad range of issues in selection and assessment. Most of this work has focused on understanding and managing the basis for applied, person-perception-based assessments, including emotive perception and prejudices. He has addressed these issues in various publications, numerous applied settings, and classrooms in the U.S., Australia, and the Netherlands. As Book Review Editor of Personnel Psychology (1994-2004), Bob had the pleasant task of reading lots of books, including the ones that inspired this one.
