Sexual harassment awareness training at workplace: Can it effect administrators' perception?

Abstract

Sexual harassment at work is an unwelcome or uninvited behavior of sexual nature, which is offensive, embarrassing, intimidating and affects an employee’s work performance, health, career or livelihood. One major problem in dealing with sexual harassment in organizations is its perceptual nature. Men and women generally differ in what they perceive to be sexual harassment. This paper is based on an experimental study that was carried out in a public organization, to assess the effect of training on variables related to sexual harassment. Findings indicated that training has significant effects on the perception of sexual harassment, whereby both male and female have significant increase towards perception of sexual harassment. Results also indicated that respondent’s awareness towards attitude towards women also increased after training. Finally the paper will outline some pertinent steps that can be taken to develop an effective training program to overcome sexual harassment at workplace.
