Sexual objectification affects women negatively in a many ways (e.g., increased focus on appearance and safety), especially if they are not provided the opportunity to cope effectively. Social media platforms provide an opportunity to share experiences and receive social support. We conducted sentiment and content analyses of #MeToo and #WhyIDidntR...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine 2,102 #MeToo tweets and focuses on the content of the tweets and social reactions to these tweets. For a subsample of 912 tweets that included disclosures of sexual assault or harassment, the incident type and context, along with coping were also examined. Design/methodology/approach #MeToo tweets...
Article
Research on gender differences in the allocation and evaluation of three main components of academic work (i.e., research, teaching, and service) is very informative, and we argue that it may point to potential sources of the disparity in academic industrial and organizational (I-O) psychologists’ experiences. We also propose the addition of a few...
Article
We examined perceptions of spirituality and meaning among 192 employees (77% female) from a non-profit organization in a mid-sized Midwestern city in the United States. We hypothesized that employees' values related to workplace spirituality would be positively related to various measures of job satisfaction and general meaning in life. We also exa...

The present research examined the experiences of individuals who witnessed or knew about ethnic harassment of their coworkers. Through 3 studies, we found that knowledge of other people's harassment was differentiated from personal experiences as a target and was associated with deleterious occupational, health-related, and psychological consequenc...

The current research was designed to examine objective and contextual factors related to the appraisal of potentially sexually harassing situations. Working female participants (n = 208) from a mid-sized southwestern university completed a workplace experiences survey in small groups. The majority of participants were Hispanic/Latina (77.9%). We pr...
Article
The authors investigated whether the relationship between the contents of emotional social support and job burnout among high-school teachers is spurious because of the role of dispositional positive and negative affectivity. A national sample of 339 teachers was surveyed via a web-based procedure. Hierarchical regression analyses did not support s...
Article
Empirical research has documented the attitudinal and behavioral consequences of sexual harassment, but has not examined the physiological consequences. In the present study, we monitored women's autonomic physiological activity while they performed a word-association task with a male confederate who was either harassing, egalitarian, or submissive...

The authors examined the nature and correlates of ethnic harassment experiences in 4 predominantly Hispanic samples of working men and women (N = 575) using a newly developed scale. Confirmatory factor analyses supported a 2-factor structure for the Ethnic Harassment Experiences scale (i.e., verbal ethnic harassment and exclusion due to ethnicity)....

In this study assertiveness as a moderator of stress reactions among women was examined. Specifically, the experimenters examined how high and low assertive women cognitively appraised, affectively and physiologically responded to, and behaviorally coped with the stress of giving an impromptu speech. High assertive women appraised the speech stress...

Previous evidence regarding the outcomes of sexual harassment in the workplace has come mainly from self-selected samples or analogue studies or those using inadequate measures. The sexual harassment experiences, coping responses, and job-related and psychological outcomes of 447 female private-sector employees and 300 female university employees w...

Research on sexual harassment as a prevalent job stressor has focused primarily on outcomes for the direct targets of harassment ; the antecedents and consequences of indirect exposure to sexual harassment have not been explored. Ambient Sexual Harassment is proposed as an assessment of indirect exposure to sexual harassment. Ambient Sexual Harassm...

... However, given the differential treatment of racial/ethnic minorities in many facets of society, it is likely this differential treatment may extend to the workplace, including the U.S. military, in the form of racial/ethnic harassment and discrimination (REHD). REHD refers to unwanted/ unwelcomed behaviors or differential treatment related to one's race/ethnicity that negatively impact the work environment (Bergman et al., 2012;Daniel et al., 2019;Schneider et al., 2000). Specific examples include offensive jokes, slurs, written or verbal comments, and physical harassment regarding race/ethnicity or differential treatment such as unfair performance evaluations, assignments, and promotion opportunities due to race/ ethnicity. ...
... Specifically, a drawback of research to date on online disclosure is that it explores the content and process of online disclosures together (O'Neill, 2018;Schneider & Carpenter, 2020). Research on the content of disclosure includes assault details from survivors (e.g., perpetrator identity, assault types, location, and age at assault) and online social reactions to disclosures . ...
... This finding is consistent with examination of gender representation in the peer review process in other fields (e.g., Williams et al., 2018) and might represent the heightened competing demands experienced by women. Even after controlling for rank, field, and department, women in academia carry a larger service load than do men (Guarino and Borden, 2017;Hanasono et al., 2019;Schneider and Radhakrishnan, 2018), and women report having greater responsibilities at home compared to men (Fothergill and Feltey, 2003;Jenkins, 2020;Lynn et al., 2018;Schiebinger and Gilmartin, 2010). Additionally, women are particularly underrepresented in higher ranks of academic positions (Goulden et al., 2011). ...
... Peer accountability can help transform workplace culture and climate, especially when leadership provides models of respectful, inclusive, and supportive behaviors (Schneider et al. 2017). All members of the ecological community -but especially those who are not the primary targets of these behaviors -need to recognize the impact of exclusionary behaviors and act to reduce their harm, possibly using skills acquired from bystander intervention training, which teaches people how to intercede to stop inappropriate and potentially harmful interactions (NASEM 2018;Berhe et al. 2020;Marín-Spiotta et al. 2022). ...
... In Figure 2, (Phillips et al., 2018). When faced with workplace bullying, workplace spirituality can help nurses to correctly recognize and evaluate stress, thereby generating positive benefits for individuals, teams, and organizations, effectively improving nurses' job involvement, physical health, job satisfaction and retention intention, and reducing work stress in the environment (Kazemipour et al., 2012;Schneider et al., 2015). ...

... Previous studies have found that a surprisingly large number of people are being ostracized within their organizations. For example, in a study on how being ostracized by co-workers affects people's attitudes and behaviors at work, 13% of the survey respondents reported experiencing some neglect or rejection [6]. Another study by Fox and Stallworth [7], in which 66% of respondents reported experiencing a similar experience of bullying, suggested that bullying in organizations is currently a behavior that anyone can engage in. ...
... 38 For example, many women who have experienced sexual harassment at work report headaches, insomnia, nausea, weight loss, and other physical signs of stress; one study found that even mild sexual harassment triggered increased cardiovascular activity. 39 In the most severe cases, where sexual harassment rises to the level of sexual violence, women can experience immediate bodily harm. ...
... Observing incivility actions (such as taunts and harshness) was linked to the angry emotional reaction (Phillips and Smith 2004). Witnessing coworker-directed misbehavior (ethnic bullying) has also been linked to lower happiness, ego, and work satisfaction (Low et al. 2007). Another study reported that the apparent unfair negative emotions are positively related to interpersonal deviance and CWBs (De Cremer & Van Hiel, 2006). ...
... According to the Maslach's inventory of emotional burnout (Maslach & Jackson, 1981b professional burnout consists of three dimensions: 1) Emotional burnoutwhen one experiences emotional tension and constant fatigue; 2) depersonalizationwhen one distances oneself from one's work, workrelated tasks and obligations, and clients and colleagues (Kahn et al., 2006;Schaufeli & Enzmann, 1998); and 3) diminishing personal achievements, which can be seen as a sense of incompetence and lack of achievements at work (Maslach & Leiter, 2008). Burnout is caused by imbalance between high requirements during work performance and insufficient resources (Schaufeli & Taris, 2014). ...
