Sexual Harassment: A Predictor to Job Satisfaction and Work Stress among Women Employees

摘要

This study examines the predictions on sexual harassment experience towards job satisfaction and work stress among female employees at three universities in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. A questionnaire consisting of four sections has been used for this research. The four sections measured sexual harassment experience, job satisfaction, work stress and respondents information. A total of 1423 participants were selected through simple random sampling technique. Results show that more than half of the sample has had sexual harassment experience. Female employees aged between 26 to 39 years, married, and having length of service less than 5 years had more sexual harassment experiences. Another result showed a significant negative relationship between sexual harassment experience with job satisfaction and significant positive relationship between sexual harassment experience with work stress. Results also indicate that sexual harassment can be a predictor of job satisfaction and work stress.
