Workplace relational injustice and authoritarian treatment as risk factors for sexual harassment at a large Swedish university: results from a cross-sectional study

Our findings suggest that superiors' unjust or authoritarian treatment of employees might be contextual factors contributing to workplace sexual harassment, disproportionally affecting women, employees with a foreign background or high academic positions. To ensure evidence-based interventions, researchers should incorporate organisational risk factors in the design and evaluation of workplace interventions aimed at reducing sexual harassing behaviours.
