A model for the management of sexual harassment in South African companies

Sexual harassment is an issue shrouded in both controversy and ambiguity. As the literature indicates, its presence manifests itself negatively on both the well-being of the employees and the organisation. Consequently, management need to view sexual harassment as an area of concern because it ultimately affects the overall efficiency of organisations. The existing theoretical principles relating to the management of sexual harassment in the workplace have been analysed in depth, and a model is proposed which introduces, describes and integrates the various processes, steps and actions required for the efficient and effective management of sexual harassment in the workplace.Human Resource Managemen
