An Empirical Investigation of Sexual Harassers: Toward a Perpetrator Typology
利用已公布的仲裁裁决数据,识别性骚扰施害者的行为模式,提出基于目标数量和骚扰行为性质的施害者类型学,对管理者区分处理不同类型施害者有参考价值。
This study used published arbitration decisions as a data source to explore identifiable behavioral patterns of sexual harassment perpetrators. The results of the multi-method analysis generally supported the need to distinguish between different types of perpetrators and provided the basis for a new typology of sexual harassers. Two dominant themes emerged around the number of targets and the nature of the harassing behavior. Some harassers appear to target a small number of victims persistently, while others appeared to harass any and all targets whenever possible. Whereas some harassers engaged in very sexualized behaviors, others seem to prefer aggressive actions. A discussion of research and managerial implications focuses on the importance of distinguishing between different types of sexual harassers.
