本文研究了基于调查的性骚扰和性别歧视报告，以确定关于它们之间关系性质的程式化事实。我们特别感兴趣的是，评估这些概念是否衡量了类似形式的性别偏见行为，以及它们是否对员工的工作满意度和离职意愿有同样的影响。我们的研究结果几乎不能支持基于调查的性骚扰和性别歧视测量方法捕捉到相同的潜在行为的观点。受访者似乎区分了工作场所的性骚扰事件和性别歧视事件。结果有性别差异。然而。性别歧视和性骚扰都与较高程度的工作不满有关。然而，女性预期的工作变化似乎对性别歧视更敏感，而男性对性骚扰更敏感。虽然是探索性的，但综合起来看，这些结果给了我们希望，在未来，足够详细的调查可以为量化性骚扰和性别歧视之间的联系提供有用的基础。他们还指出，发展并检验性别偏见概念框架的最佳前景在于采用多学科方法，结合社会学、心理学和经济学等学科的见解。(C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
This paper examines survey-based reports of sexual harassment and sex discrimination in order to identify the stylized facts about the nature of the relationship between them. In particular, we are interested in assessing whether these concepts measure similar forms of gender-biased behavior and whether they have the same effect on workers' job satisfaction and intentions to leave their jobs. Our results provide little support for the notion that survey-based measures of sexual harassment and sex discrimination capture the same underlying behavior. Respondents do appear to differentiate between incidents of sexual harassment and incidents of sex discrimination in the workplace. There are gender differences in the consequences. however. Both sex discrimination and sexual harassment are associated with a higher degree of job dissatisfaction. However, women's intended job changes appear to be more sensitive to experiencing sex discrimination, while men's are more sensitive to experiencing sexual harassment. Although exploratory, when taken together these results give us hope that in the future sufficiently detailed surveys could provide a useful foundation for quantifying the link between sexual harassment and sex discrimination. They also suggest that the best prospect for developing-and then testing-a conceptual framework of gender bias lies in adopting a multi-disciplinary approach incorporating the insights of disciplines such as sociology, psychology, and economics.
