Which of the following is a limitation of internal source of recruitment?

Inbreeding

The correct answer is option 1- Inbreeding.

Inbreeding is a limitation of internal source of recruitment.

When vacancies are filled through internal promotions, the scope for induction of fresh talent is reduced. Hence, complete reliance on internal recruitment involves danger of ‘inbreeding’ by stopping ‘infusion of new blood’ into the organisation.
