Political tribalism, meritocracy, and human capital management in Kuwait’s diverse work setting
The complicated relationship between political tribalism, meritocracy, and human capital in Kuwait emerges as an important focus in the changing landscape of modern organizations. This paper carefully examines this complex relationship, demonstrating its significant implications for human capital management. Political tribalism, which is closely associated with power systems, has a noticeable impact on core human capital processes like hiring, training, and career advancement. In addition, the fundamental idea of a meritocracy promotes unbiased hiring practices by putting competence above affiliation. An in-depth understanding of the mediating role performed by human capital practices is necessary in order to effectively address complex political elements while firmly maintaining meritocratic values. The findings presented here apply to similar organizational situations other than Kuwait. The study provides firms with invaluable insights by revealing these complex links and encourages proactive actions to develop an open, equitable human capital strategy. It attempts to create an environment that encourages the development of human capital, the maintenance of a strong meritocratic system, and the effective mitigation of the negative effects of political tribalism.
