Abstract

The problem of violence in the workplace continues to expand and it casts a shadow on organizational environments all around the world. This phenomenon extends to different fields or sectors and is pervasive throughout a wide range of job environments, such as those in the healthcare industry, educational institutions, local and informal economies, and service industries. The purpose of this study was to analyze the actions of working women when their rights had been/will be violated. This quantitative study was conducted in Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines among women in academe (n=121) and health institutions (n=39), and women of minimum-wage earners (n=42). Findings indicated that working women in the region tend to seek information outside their organizations when violence will happen; they also seek information when their rights once were violated. In some instances, they would only file a complaint when they feel discriminated against and when equal rights in the workplace are not well implemented. Notably, minimum-wage earners and health workers are more likely to file a complaint than teachers. The findings resonate with broader societal patterns wherein hesitancy to report workplace violations are deeply embedded. Such behaviors perpetuate gender-based violence and hinder the development of gender-sensitive and conducive workplaces. To deconstruct the gender and development (GAD) limitations, interventions need to extend beyond the present organizational policies to instill a culture of empowerment and safety for all individuals, fostering an environment conducive to open discussions, proactive conflict resolution mechanisms, and reliable report systems.
基于妇女大宪章的自发保护行为:工作场所的女卫生工作者、女教师和最低工资劳动者
工作场所的暴力问题不断扩大,给世界各地的组织环境蒙上了阴影。这种现象延伸到不同的领域或部门,在广泛的工作环境中普遍存在,如医疗保健行业、教育机构、地方和非正规经济以及服务行业。本研究的目的是分析职业女性在其权利受到/将要受到侵犯时采取的行动。这项定量研究在菲律宾三宝颜半岛进行,研究对象包括学术界(121 人)和医疗机构(39 人)的妇女,以及最低工资妇女(42 人)。调查结果表明,当暴力事件发生时,该地区的职业妇女倾向于在其组织之外寻求信息;当她们的权利受到侵犯时,她们也会寻求信息。在某些情况下,只有当她们感到受到歧视以及工作场所的平等权利没有得到很好落实时,她们才会提出投诉。值得注意的是,最低工资劳动者和医务工作者比教师更有可能提出投诉。这些发现与更广泛的社会模式产生了共鸣,即对报告工作场所侵权行为犹豫不决的现象根深蒂固。这种行为使性别暴力长期存在,并阻碍了对性别问题有敏感认识的、有利的工作场所的发展。为了打破性别与发展(GAD)的限制,干预措施需要超越目前的组织政策,为所有人灌输一种赋权和安全的文化,营造一种有利于公开讨论、积极主动的冲突解决机制和可靠的报告制度的环境。
