Views of Sales Consultances Working in the Shopping Centers on Sexual Harrasmend

Abstract

Sexual harassment against women has many results in the economic, social, and spiritual sense. Many of them are the damaged social image of sexually harassed woman, her confrontation with depression, senseless fears and anxiety and loss of the financial income due to quit job. In literature, although there have been many studies about sexual harassment, the recent increase in cases of sexual harassment against women gives the idea that it is necessary for further research on the subject. he aim of this study is to determine the effects of sexual harassment cases on female sales consultants and their ways of coping. In this study, case study method, one of the qualitative research methodology designs, was used. 10 female sales consultants comprised the sample of the study. To determine the views of the participants, quasi-structured interview form was utilized. The results of the study showed that the female sales consultants had broad knowledge about the sexual harassment, sexual harassment actions towards women in workplace were frequently seen, the victims (or witnesses) of the sexual harassment used passive coping ways and the sexual harassment cases gave rise to the mental and behavioral problems and decreases in work performance in female sales consultants. All these results were discussed in relation to relevant literature and some recommendations were given
