Abstract

A joint survey by the editors of HBR and Redbook magazine focuses on sexual harassment in the workplace. The major findings include the following: respondents view sexual harassment as an issue of power. Men and women generally agree in theory on what sexual harassment is, but disagree on how often it occurs. Respondents favor company policies against harassment, but few organizations have any policies to address it. Most people think that the newly issued EEOC guidelines will be difficult to implement because they are too vague. Most regard sexual harassment as a very serious matter. A review of the survey''s approach accompanies the discussion.
