■探索员工如何理解与工作有关的性骚扰并标记他们的经历。
■这项研究基于对暴露于工作场所性骚扰的员工的13次半结构化深入访谈。我们使用主题方法分析了数据,该方法借鉴了组织中的决策框架。
■我们确定了四个主要主题。前两个主题,区分性骚扰和不必要的性关注,并标记现实生活中的性骚扰,概述受访者对“性骚扰”和“有害性骚扰”这两个术语的定义,并揭示在工作中标记性骚扰行为的挑战。最后两个主题;建立连接和谈判边界和标签,解释感官制造过程,即,受访者如何理解和标记他们的经历。
■分析表明,受访者与身体有关的性骚扰,强制,和故意的行为,而不想要的性关注被认为不那么严重和不那么有意。受访者经常怀疑如何给自己的经历贴上标签,理解一个人的经验可能需要几年的时间。自我标记本质上是一个社会过程,对他人的认可和拒绝起着重要作用。最后,#MeToo运动构成了几个受访者对事件的理解的转折点。
UNASSIGNED: To explore how employees understand work-related sexual harassment and label their experience.
UNASSIGNED: This study is based on 13 semi-structured in-depth interviews with employees exposed to workplace sexual harassment. We analysed the data using a thematic approach drawing on frameworks of sensemaking in organizations.
UNASSIGNED: We identified four major themes. The first two themes, distinguishing between sexual harassment and unwanted sexual attention and labelling real life sexual harassment, outline the interviewees\' definitions of the two terms \"sexual harassment\" and \"unwanted sexual harassment\" and reveal the challenges of labelling sexually harassing behaviours at work. The last two themes; making the connection and negotiating boundaries and labels, explain the sensemaking process, i.e., how the interviewees come to understand and label their experience.
UNASSIGNED: The analysis showed that the interviewees related sexual harassment with physical, coercive, and intentional behaviours, whereas unwanted sexual attention was seen as less severe and less intentional. The interviewees often doubted how to label their experience, and making sense of one´s experience could take years. Self-labelling is inherently a social process, and the validation and rejection of others play an important role. Finally, the #MeToo movement constituted a turning point for several interviewees\' understandings of events.
