Sexual harassment (SH) research has adopted a female, victim-centric lens, with limited use of perpetrator reports of harassing behavior (SH-P). Despite SH-P given as an example of counterproductive work behavior (CWB), the SH literature has developed separately from the CWB literature. First, we examined the relations between SH-P, CWB, and OCB to further illuminate the relationships among these three sets of organizationally and socially impactful behaviors. Second, we explored whether adding the motivation “because of a target’s sex or gender” to CWB and OCB changed the magnitudes of the relationships between CWB, OCB and SH-P. Structural equation modeling revealed strong and positive associations between latent CWB and SH-P. However, the correlation between latent CWB and SH-P was stronger in men (r=.89) than women (r=.59). While interpersonal OCB had a near-zero relationship with SH-P, sex/gender motivated OCB was moderately correlated with SH-P. Interpersonal OCB was also moderately, positively associated with sex/gender motivated OCB. Sex/gender motivated OCB’s curious association with both desirable and undesirable behaviors is reflected in models fitting best when OCB-Sex/Gender loaded on both SH-P and OCB latent factors. Such findings show that the circumstances under which OCB is engaged in changes its relationships with CWB and SH-P, challenging notions of OCBs being universally "good." |
