Bridging the gap between romantic relationships and sexual harassment in organizations
提出职场浪漫关系与性骚扰之间存在情感联系,探讨浪漫关系在何种条件下可能导致性骚扰,并讨论对管理者的启示。
Workplace romances and sexual harassment are pervasive in today's organizations. However, despite the fact that these two phenomena share a social-sexual component, they have primarily been treated as unrelated organizational issues. We advance an affective link between workplace romances and sexual harassment. Based on this theoretical connection, we discuss conditions under which workplace romances may result in sexual harassment. Finally, we address managerial implications of the romance–harassment link. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
