The Detrimental Effects of Workplace Favoritism Below, I discuss how such biased treatment impacts those who are not favored, some causes of workplace favoritism, and, perhaps more interestingly, what happens when you are the favorite.
Merit Systems Protection Board 2 survey results indicated that 25 percent of American federal employees believe their supervisor practices favoritism, over 50 percent suspected that other supervisors in their organization practice favoritism, and 30 percent of human resources management staff agreed that favoritism occurs in the organizations in which they serve. executives 1, found that more than half (56 percent) of executives admitted to having a favorite candidate when making internal promotion decisions, and 96 percent of them will promote their favorites rather than considering the candidates’ communication abilities, which is crucial for the position examined in the study. There is some evidence that many leaders have favorite(s) - and, more importantly, treat favored employee(s) differently. But that episode always left me wondering if favoritism wildly exists in workplaces today and how it will impact the employees. In this case, Rachel is a victim of workplace favoritism, and she takes a comical approach to ingratiate herself with her boss.īut comedy is just comedy after the humor, no solutions to the problem, nor the effects of such phenomena were further discussed at the end of the show. In the once-popular NBC prime-time sitcom Friends, there is an episode where Rachel decides to take up smoking in an attempt to make inroads with her boss, because her colleague who takes smoke breaks gets more opportunities to talk with her boss, which ultimately leads to her suggestions being accepted over Rachel’s.
