Abstract

This paper describes the largest Canadian survey devoted to women's experiences with workplace sexual harassment (N= 1,990) including the incidence of various types of harassment and details about these experiences provided by a sub-sample (n= 424). These women described their responses to the harassment and how it affected their work and personal lives. The analyses explore the relationship between characteristics of the harassment and its consequences. The findings are used to discuss theoretical implications, particularly with respect to how organizational power theory can contribute to our understanding of the consequences of workplace harassment.
