The goal of this study was to examine the costs associated with witnessing the sexual harassment of a male colleague. More specifically, we investigate (a) whether observed male gender harassment is related to psychological and physical health, and negative and positive job-related behaviors and attitudes, and (b) the mediating roles of discrete negative emotions (anger, fear) and identity-based evaluations (collective self-esteem). We explore these questions in a sample of men and women employed in "blue collar" professions. Our results show that the relationships between observed male gender harassment and psychological and physical health symptoms, withdrawal and workplace deviance, and affective commitment, were indirect and mediated via witness anger. Moreover, witnessing the gender harassment of a male colleague was also indirectly related to workplace deviance via collective self-esteem among women. Implications for theory, research, and practice are considered. (PsycINFO Database Record
本研究旨在考察目睹男性同事性骚扰所涉及的成本。更具体地说，我们调查了：(a) 观察到的男性性别骚扰是否与心理健康和身体健康、消极和积极的工作相关行为和态度有关，以及(b) 离散消极情绪（愤怒、恐惧）和基于身份的评价（集体自尊）的中介作用。我们在从事“蓝领”职业的男性和女性样本中探讨了这些问题。我们的研究结果表明，观察到的男性性别骚扰与心理和身体健康症状、离职和工作场所越轨行为以及情感承诺之间的关系是间接的，并且通过目击者的愤怒来调节。此外，目睹男性同事的性别骚扰也会通过女性的集体自尊间接地与工作场所越轨行为相关。考虑了对理论、研究和实践的影响。
