ABSTRACT Although reports of workplace sexual harassment share various similarities, victims uniquely react and assign meaning to these events. Using Weick’s sensemaking theory coupled with Lazarus and Folkman’s model of coping, this study examines the role of organizational tolerance toward sexual harassment and its influence on victim resilience, coping, harassment fatigue, and perceived vulnerability to future sexual harassment. Survey results from 187 victims of workplace sexual harassment indicate that organizational tolerance of sexual harassment is a significant predictor of victim vulnerability, resilience, and harassment fatigue. Specifically, organizations that are more tolerant of sexual harassment are associated with higher victim vulnerability to future harassment and harassment fatigue, as well as lower resilience. Additionally, victims who responded to harassment using problem-focused coping were significantly more resilient, while formally reporting sexual harassment was associated with lower victim resilience. Overall, results illustrate the complexity of addressing sexual harassment from both an organizational and individual perspective.

保持对组织的性骚扰容忍度:对复原力,脆弱性和骚扰疲劳的探索

摘要尽管有关工作场所性骚扰的报道有许多相似之处,但受害者对这些事件具有独特的反应并赋予其意义。本研究使用韦克的感官理论以及拉撒路和福克曼的应对模型,研究了组织对性骚扰的容忍作用及其对受害者适应力,应对,骚扰疲劳以及对未来性骚扰的感知脆弱性的影响。187位工作场所性骚扰受害者的调查结果表明,组织对性骚扰的容忍度是受害者易受伤害性,适应力和骚扰疲劳的重要预测指标。具体而言,对性骚扰容忍度更高的组织会增加受害者对未来骚扰和骚扰疲劳的脆弱性,以及较低的应变能力。另外,通过以问题为中心的应对方式应对骚扰的受害者,其抵抗力明显增强,而正式报告的性骚扰与受害者的抵御力较低相关。总体而言,结果说明了从组织和个人角度解决性骚扰的复杂性。
