Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Sexual harassment is a sub-type of workplace aggression and is more frequent in organizations which tolerate hostility and incivility. It is also found that a passive leadership style is more permissive of hostile behaviors, which in turn means more tolerant of sexual harassment. Both men and women are more likely to experience sexual harassment under a passive leader; however, this is stronger for women working in a male-dominated workplace. Companies wishing to reduce hostility and sexual harassment should look to foster proactive leaders and encourage civil behaviors, as well as a zero-tolerance policy.

Practical implications

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
