Sexual Harassment within the USAF Enlisted Force.

Abstract

This report examines sexual harassment within the U.S. Air Force active, enlisted force. It specifically examines whether sexual harassment is more likely to occur in particular career/occupational areas. The primary source of data was survey and interview results from a study of 14,639 enlisted male and female Air Force personnel and 60 senior officers entitled Organizational Assessment Study. The major conclusions are that career areas and occupations are not successful predictors of verbal or physical sexual harassment. Other personal and work-place characteristics associated with verbal and physical harassment are discussed. Also, special ways to prevent and diminish sexual harassment are presented. Keywords: Multivariate analysis; Roles (Behavior); Verbal behavior; and Attitudes (Psychology).
