Sexual Harassment is perhaps the most pervasive, controversial, and detrimental behavior in the workplace that is extremely costly for employees and employers. Especially in male-dominated fields, reported and unreported incidents of sexual harassment have been shown to cost organizations billions of dollars every year through lowered employee performance, increased turn-over rate of employees, and reduced team performance. The purpose of this book is to shed light on the causes, antecedents, and consequences of sexual harassment in the workplace.
