Abstract

Sexual harassment was once conceptualized solely as a sexual problem: coercive sexual advances that spring from natural feelings of sexual desire or romance. Research has since shown that by far the most common manifestation of sexual harassment is gender harassment, which has contempt at its core; this conduct aims to put people down and push them out, not pull them into sexual activity. With findings such as these, we have made many strides in the scientific study of sexual harassment. That body of scholarship is the focus of this article, which is organized around the following questions: What is sexual harassment, both behaviorally and legally? How common is this conduct in work organizations, and what are its consequences? What features of the social/organizational context raise the risk for sexual harassment? What are some promising (and not-so-promising) solutions to this pervasive problem? And finally, what are important directions for this area of research moving forward?

贬低别人，把他们赶出去:职场性骚扰

性骚扰曾经被单纯地定义为性问题:源于自然的性欲或浪漫情感的强制性性挑逗。研究表明，到目前为止，性骚扰最常见的表现形式是性别骚扰，其核心是蔑视;这种行为的目的是贬低人们，把他们赶出去，而不是把他们拉进性活动。有了这些发现，我们在性骚扰的科学研究方面取得了许多进展。这篇文章主要围绕以下几个问题展开:从行为上和法律上讲，什么是性骚扰?这种行为在工作组织中有多普遍?它的后果是什么?社会/组织环境的哪些特征会增加性骚扰的风险?对于这个普遍存在的问题，有哪些有希望(和不那么有希望)的解决方案呢?最后，这一研究领域的重要发展方向是什么?
