Assédio moral e assédio sexual: Investigação sobre as formas de violência laboral baseadas nas relações de poder

Abstract

The organizational environment is composed of the multiplicity of ethical and moral principles of its members, in line with the precepts employed by the organization. Conflicts can arise through violence based on power relations, such as bullying and sexual harassment. This dissertation aims to analyze the perception of men and women regarding moral and sexual harassment in the workplace. The research attempted to identify the factors that characterize these forms of violence and to classify the subjects regarding the incidence of the phenomena. Additionally, measures that reduce moral and sexual harassment within the Federal University of Pará have been proposed. The literature review is based on the main research on the two forms of violence arising from the imbalance of power relations. The research is an exploratory and descriptive research, conducted in the form of field research, with questionnaires. The data were treated quantitatively with statistical techniques of exploratory factorial analysis, cluster analysis and regression analysis. The results revealed three groups: subjects who never lived or perceived physical and sexual harassment in the work environment, subjects who are in the initial phase of the harassment spiral and the third group that are in the final stages of the harassment process.
