| Declared by many the new “Year of the Woman”, 2018 was a watershed year for sex and gender relations in American society. The #MeToo and #TimesUp movements empowered survivors of assault and harassment to come forward, encouraging women to question the organizational power inequalities that make such harassment possible. In light of this public reckoning, the field of management has an obligation to support this movement with behavioral science. Existing research on sexual harassment demonstrates the importance of organizational characteristics in emboldening or preventing harassment and assault. In this symposium, we expand on this work by exploring how the relationship between sex and power can foster an environment hostile to women and survivors of assault and harassment. Three presentations bring together a variety of methodologies (experimental, longitudinal field data, and case study) to provide nuanced analyses of power as a force that shapes women’s experience of harassment in the workplace. This work brings new insights into the interpersonal conditions that foster harassment, as well as how leaders and victims’ advocates can promote justice and inclusion in organizational settings. Following the presentations, Dr. Laura Kray— a forerunner of research on gender, power, and justice in organizations—will lead a moderated discussion with presenters and audience members, focusing on future research directions and practical implications of the work. |
