Approximately 50% of women in all workplaces experience sexual harassment. Women who work in male-dominated occupations may be more susceptible to sexual harassment than those who work in non-male-dominated occupations. Research on factors contributing to workplace sexual harassment in male-dominated occupations is limited. This paper reviews the known antecedents that put female workers at risk of sexual harassment in select male-dominated occupations and to identify gaps in the literature and opportunities for future occupational health nursing research.
A search was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Included articles addressed sexual harassment of female workers in male-dominated occupations such as law enforcement, firefighting, truck driving, and construction.
The search yielded 25 relevant research articles. Antecedents to sexual harassment in the workplace included lower rank, shorter tenure, physicality of the job, job insecurity, negative relationships with peers and/or supervisors, treating women as outsiders, exaggerated gender differences, unequal gender ratios, and promotions based on gender. Common antecedents to sexual harassment in the workplace identified in the literature include organizational culture and gender composition.
CONCLUSION/APPLICATION TO PRACTICE: Workplace sexual harassment of women is a problem in male-dominated occupations. Research is needed to better understand the organizational antecedents of sexual harassment in male-dominated occupations within community settings to prevent workplace sexual harassment.
大约 50%的职场女性都经历过性骚扰。在男性主导职业中工作的女性比在非男性主导职业中工作的女性更容易受到性骚扰。关于导致男性主导职业中工作场所性骚扰的因素的研究有限。本文回顾了已知的使女性工人在某些男性主导职业中面临性骚扰风险的因素，并确定了文献中的空白和未来职业保健护理研究的机会。
使用 PubMed、CINAHL、PsycINFO 和 Web of Science 进行了搜索。纳入的文章涉及执法、消防、卡车驾驶和建筑等男性主导职业中女性工人的性骚扰。
搜索结果产生了 25 篇相关的研究文章。工作场所性骚扰的前因包括级别较低、任期较短、工作的体力性质、工作不安全、与同事和/或主管的负面关系、将女性视为局外人、夸大性别差异、性别比例不平等以及基于性别的晋升。文献中确定的工作场所性骚扰的常见前因包括组织文化和性别构成。
结论/对实践的应用：男性主导职业中的女性工作场所性骚扰是一个问题。需要研究以更好地了解社区环境中男性主导职业中性骚扰的组织前因，以防止工作场所性骚扰。
