Abstract: The most widespread forms of preferential treatment of individuals in organizations are nepotism, cronyism and favoritism. It is about unprofessional practices that provide preferential treatment to the relatives or friends in different situations in organizations. If the employees work in such working environment, they usually have the perception of working in an unfair environment. Consequently, such situation may cause many negative consequences, such as: decreasing the organizational commitment, decreasing the performances, job dissatisfaction, etc. For these reasons, nepotism, cronyism and favoritism are the practices that are very harmful for the organizations. Bearing in mind this fact, as well as the fact that this topic has not been sufficiently investigated in the literature, especially in domestic one, the aim of this paper is to analyze previously mentioned forms of preferential treatment as well as to find out whether there are differences in job satisfaction between the employees who work in organizations in which this practice is emphasized and those who work in organization where this is not the case.
