Introduction: The concept of nepotism is much unknown but, many health
care workers are directly or indirectly exposed to nepotism in everyday life.
Being a health care worker is hard because of long education process and
back breaking work conditions. Over time, every individual who works wants to

individual, cluster, thought or practice with another and making a choice
between them without being objective in Turkish language society’s dictionary.
Also, nepotism in public service is protection and support by illegal and unfair
acts to someone whom the management feels them close to themselves.
There are no direct investigations to determine the presence of nepotismwithin
the health care system but it is seen that the researches are conducted to
determine the relationship between organizational commitment and nepotism.
