Investigations of sexual harassment allegations: Legal means fair—or does it?
研究了性骚扰调查中如何确保公平对待各方，整合组织公平理论与判例法，提出五个调查阶段的指南，对HR经理和法律从业者有用。
Sexual harassment investigations are among the most sensitive and explosive of all HR activities, yet HR managers typically do not receive training in how to conduct these investigations. As a result, and despite the best efforts of the HR manager, the parties involved often believe they were not treated fairly. Our article focuses on the central question of providing fair treatment during the emotionally charged atmosphere of a sexual harassment investigation. We integrate the organizational justice literature with case law and move through five “stages” of an investigation. Lessons in each stage are highlighted, dilemmas are discussed, and guidelines are offered. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
