ABSTRACT

The previous research reported that women employees were victims compared to male employees. Approximately, 40 to 70 percent of sexual harassment victims are women. In contrast, surprisingly little is known about victim characteristics that enhance or reduce the risk of becoming a target of sexual harassment. As far as demographics variables are concerned, young women, unmarried women living in urban areas seem to be at greatest risk (Schwartz, Tangri & Hayes, 1997) but another results indicates single mothers, low educated group, new workers, unmarried, supporting staff group such as clerk, experienced sexual harassment more compared to senior workers, the highly educated and those holding administrative and professional posts (Gutek, 1985; Renzetti & Curan, 1999; Ng et al., 2002).
