Abstract

This study examines the influence of sexual harassment experience on job satisfaction and work stress among female employees at three universities in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. A questionnaire consisting of four sections was used to measure sexual harassment experience, job satisfaction, work stress, and respondents’ demographic 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 who have worked in less than 5 years had more sexual harassment experiences. Results also show a significant negative relationship between sexual harassment experience with job satisfaction and significant positive relationship between sexual harassment experiences with work stress. Results also indicate that sexual harassment can be a predictor of job satisfaction and work stress.
