Sumario:This study examines nepotism's direct and indirect effects on family firms, considering several critical factors mediating individual and organizational aspects. Specifically, on a sample of 387 family firms in the Middle East region, we investigate the mediating role of commitment, engagement, and job satisfaction in the relationship between nepotism and turnover intention. Using a structural equation modeling methodology to test our propositions empirically, results corroborate the pivotal mediating effects in elucidating how nepotism affects turnover intention. Our paper adds depth and nuances to this complex phenomenon in the context of strong familial influence in business development.
