Abstract

Assertion of the word “sexual behavior” always creates a conflicting state of mind, as it is considered offensive, harassing, and harmful in nature. However, studies have determined it as an inevitable phenomenon that could be harmless and create a positive, enjoyable, and good work climate at the workplace. Considering this, the present study is aimed to determine the impact of social sexual behavior in two forms, that is, ambient sexual behavior and direct sexual behavior on various dimensions of employee wellbeing (work engagement, burnout, and job satisfaction). For the present study, 423 employees of the civil aviation industry have been surveyed working on different profiles. With the application of structural equation modeling, a statistical model has been developed and analyzed. The findings of the study have unveiled the black (negative) and white (positive) shades of social sexual behavior at the workplace. Ambient sexual behavior was found to reduce burnout among employees and enhances work engagement and job satisfaction. Further, the study has analyzed the negative relationship between direct social sexual behavior and the positive dimension of EWB (work engagement and job satisfaction). However, this relationship is found positive in concern to burnout.

探讨工作场所社会性行为的黑白阴影

断言“性行为”这个词总是会产生一种矛盾的心态，因为它被认为是冒犯、骚扰和有害的。然而，研究表明，这是一种不可避免的现象，可能是无害的，并在工作场所创造积极、愉快和良好的工作氛围。考虑到这一点，本研究旨在确定两种形式的社会性行为，即环境性行为和直接性行为对员工幸福感各个维度（工作投入、倦怠和工作满意度）的影响。在本研究中，423名民航业员工接受了不同档案的调查。应用结构方程建模，建立并分析了一个统计模型。这项研究的结果揭示了工作场所社会性行为的黑色（消极）和白色（积极）阴影。研究发现，环境性行为可以降低员工的倦怠感，提高工作敬业度和工作满意度。此外，本研究还分析了直接社会性行为与EWB（工作投入和工作满意度）正向维度之间的负向关系。然而，这种关系在关注倦怠方面是积极的。
