In general research suggests partner violence has a negative impact on women's employment. However, there has been limited examination of partner stalking and consequences for employment. The purpose of this study was to examine partner stalking and employment consequences among two samples of women. One sample was women who had obtained a protective order against a violent partner and had worked in the prior year (n = 482), about one half of these women were stalked by their violent partner and one half were not. The second study examined qualitative information from women recently stalked (n = 62) by a violent partner. Results from both studies suggest that women who were stalked by a violent partner were significantly more susceptible to on-the-job harassment and problems. Also, women reported that stalking by a partner interfered in their work through on-the-job harassment, work disruption, and job performance problems. Implications for policy and research are discussed.
总体而言，研究表明伴侣暴力对女性就业有负面影响。然而，对于伴侣跟踪行为及其对就业的影响的研究却很有限。本研究的目的是调查两组女性样本中的伴侣跟踪行为及其就业后果。一个样本是那些已获得针对暴力伴侣的保护令且上一年有工作经历的女性（n = 482），这些女性中约一半遭到暴力伴侣的跟踪，另一半则没有。第二项研究调查了近期遭到暴力伴侣跟踪的女性（n = 62）的定性信息。两项研究的结果均表明，遭到暴力伴侣跟踪的女性在职场上更容易受到骚扰并出现问题。此外，女性报告称伴侣的跟踪行为通过职场骚扰、工作中断和工作表现问题干扰了她们的工作。文中还讨论了对政策和研究的启示。
