What is the difference between nepotism and cronyism?

[Bookwormlux1]

They are all very bad and they are the major reasons why a lot of countries like Nigeria are usually still behind , despite having so much resources available at their disposal .

 

[Syldan]

Both favouritism and cronyism are related in one way or the other. favouritism has to do with favour of either friends or family ones so also cronyism deals with favour of friends.

 

[Setho]

The both of them are very bad to the society and something that people should try to Shun. Nepotism is simply giving out a job based on preference while cryonusm is giving to a relative.

 

[Bookwormlux1]

They are all negative vices in the society , and it will be very very important if we get to see them eradicated completely , because they tend to impede the national growth of a country.

Favoritism and nepotism are the words that could be used interchangeable. They all point to favouring ones friends and families at the expense of any other person. It is very common in our society.

I agree that they could be used Interchangeably. Nepotism and cronyism all points to favoritism. It is an act of favouring one family and friends for a job position.

I agree that they could be used Interchangeably. Nepotism and cronyism all points to favoritism. It is an act of favouring one family and friends for a job position.

This is the basc truth. Both words could be used interchangeably. They both mean the same because they are pointing to favorite ones friend and families for a particular position in the company.

 

[zelalem]

in my opinion, both ideas have similar meanings, because both ideas tell us something about family relationship or ethnicity or they may be talking about something in a tribe.

 

[Lens]

This is the basc truth. Both words could be used interchangeably. They both mean the same because they are pointing to favorite ones friend and families for a particular position in the company.

We could use the word to replace each other very well . The meaning of both words are similar. They both talk about favoritism of the friends and the family at large.

 

[Setho]

I believe that there is not so much difference between the two of them because nepotism is just giving somebody something because he is close to you while cryonism is giving it to somebody unjustly.

 

[Lens]

Both nepotism and cronyism are more or less the same because nepotism is actually giving favour to someone simply because the person is very close to you or he is your family.

 

[Setho]

There is absolutely no difference they both have to involve appointment of people dear to you to a office without giving regards as to if they are qualified or not

There is a difference between the both of them but if you are going to look at it critically the end point is that contracts have been awarded to people who are based on the provision it is not supposed to and then it affects trust.

 

[Ononivami1]

The two words means the same thing full stop the boot talk about putting someone you know very well into a position irrespective of the person's qualification. They could be used interchangeably.

 

[Bookwormlux1]

They are all very negative elements that should be avoided at all cost, because they have ruined so many countries that are continuously in a state of underdevelopment for several years now.

 

[Lens]

The two words could be used interchangeably and they mean the same thing it's just that and they could be expressed to the same way in this in context.

 

[Holluwaphemmy]

There's no difference between nepotism and cronyism because it means when you offer the good things or seats or office to people that either are from the tribe or that are close to you or that are related to you even if they don't deserve it over people that you don't know or people that are not from the same race or ethnic group with you.

 

[Popular]

There is quite not much difference between the two because it has often been used as a synonym for each other, it is an act of favouring or giving opportunities to friends and family not minding their qualification.

What is the difference between nepotism and cronyism? DO you know?

The main difference between nepotism and cronyism is that the nepotism favours family members and relatives whereas the cronyism favours friends. Favouritism is a part of human society, and it exists in any field within the social structure. Nepotism and cronyism are two such manners of favouritism.

 

[Chibson]

They are both very much related and in any business venture where such things are practiced there are a lot of things that we go wrong. When you employ people because they are your family members or relations you will not be able to see the best qualities that will take your business to the next level.

 

[Heatman]

The terms are related.
Nepotism has to do with giving out business positions to friends or acquaintances while cronyism has to do with giving opportunities to family members who have to qualifications.

Both of them are simply the same thing to me because they are practices that involves giving opportunities to those that does not merit it while those that merited it are neglected. It is one of the biggest challenges in developing countries when it comes to recruitment.

 

[Mostee501]

Both nepotism and cronyism involve favoritism, the key distinction lies in the nature of the personal relationships that are being exploited. Nepotism centers on familial ties, whereas cronyism extends to friends, associates, or political allies. In practice, the effects of both practices can undermine fairness, transparency, and meritocracy in various domains.
