Abstract/Summary
This study aims to provide data on how males experience sexual harassment in the workplace, i.e., the forms of harassment experienced, the characteristics of the harassers, the victims' reactions and attribution of cause. Nineteen companies in the Makati, Mandaluyong and Paranaque areas were sent a total of 1,558 surveys to their randomly selected male employees to find out which of them had experienced sexual harassment. 486 surveys were returned, and nine reported to having been sexually harassed. Of the nine, only one consented to be interviewed.The researchers found that the nine male victims reported themselves as having been harassed when they experience either physical harassment by a male harasser, or verbal/non-verbal harassment by a female harasser. The victims react more negatively when the harasser is male as compared to when the harasser is female, due to the fear of being labelled as homosexual. Finally, the victims attribute the cause of the incident to their attractiveness, which agrees which the natural/biological model of sexual harassment theorized by Tangri, Burt & Johnson (1982), i.e., that harassment is a natural sexual attraction of the harasser for the victim which is not properly displayed, resulting in harassing behavior.
