Abstract

PurposeThis study examines the effects of teacher-perpetrated sexual harassment on graduate students' academic and extracurricular performance using conservation of resources theory as a framework. Further, it looks into the moderating role of trait neuroticism on the indirect relationship between sexual harassment and student performance via emotional exhaustion.Design/methodology/approachLongitudinal data were collected in three waves from 218 Pakistani students over a period of three months during the fall 2019 semester. PROCESS Macro (v. 4) model 7 was used on SPSS (v. 21) to analyze the data for testing the moderated-mediation hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that as a source of toxic stress, teacher-perpetrated sexual harassment is negatively related to both academic performance and extracurricular performance, and that emotional exhaustion is a mediator in this inverse relationship. In addition, trait neuroticism strengthens the negative effect of teacher-to-student sexual harassment on student performance through emotional exhaustion.Originality/valueThis study addresses an unexplored moderated-mediation mechanism, and thus makes valuable contributions to education management research and practice. More specifically, it contributes by examining emotional exhaustion as a mediating variable in the relationship of teacher-perpetrated sexual harassment and student performance and, perhaps for the first time, establishes the moderating role of neuroticism in increasing the strength of the aforementioned relationship.
教师性侵与学生表现:情绪耗竭和神经质的作用
目的本研究以资源保护理论为框架,探讨教师性骚扰对研究生学业和课外表现的影响。在此基础上,通过情绪耗竭考察特质神经质对性骚扰与学生成绩间接关系的调节作用。设计/方法/方法在2019年秋季学期的三个月内,从218名巴基斯坦学生中分三次收集纵向数据。PROCESS Macro (v. 4)模型7在SPSS (v. 21)上用于分析数据以检验被调节的中介假设。研究结果表明,教师性骚扰作为一种有毒压力源,与学生的学业成绩和课外表现均呈负相关,而情绪耗竭在这一负相关关系中起中介作用。此外,特质神经质通过情绪耗竭强化师生性骚扰对学生成绩的负向影响。原创性/价值本研究探讨了一个未被探索的有调节的中介机制,从而为教育管理研究和实践做出了有价值的贡献。更具体地说,它通过检查情绪耗竭作为教师实施的性骚扰和学生表现之间关系的中介变量,也许是第一次建立了神经质在增加上述关系强度方面的调节作用。
