Sexual Harassment and Job Involvement
Sexual Harassment (SH) is a psychometric and behavioral construct that people use in order to meet their physical needs . Additionally, sexual harassment is a behavioral and sexual practice of one’s political, social, familial and professional power in order to fulfill sexual and romantic needs. SH may take the form of unwelcomed physical attention that being harassed party does not appreciate and he or she should cope with it in order to continue his or her professional career (Haider & Vaseer, 2013). Social Harassment takes place because of one’s perceived societal strength over a communally weaker party to take sexual advantage. Sexual coercion occurs when a supervising manager offers professional benefits under the condition of meeting his or her sexual needs to his or her subordinate. Harassers suspend personal and professional rights of target persons in order to mentally and physically force them to entertain extreme sexual possibilities .
Educational Involvement (EI) is a concept that measures one’s ability to mentally dissolve into an educational experience and therefore, he or she may consider academic activities as the ultimate source of spiritual engagement. EI causes students and professionals to lose themselves into educational experience . However, SH acts as a hindering factor for educational growth. Students and students may have to divert their attention to cope with harassment of sexual nature. EI suffers because people may fail to focus on their education due to unwanted sexual attention of teachers and fellow students. Sexual Harassment consumes one’s educational commitment to reduce their involvement in educational activities by diverting attention to unproductive and enforced sexual attention and events .
