Sexual harassment (SH) research has recently gone through a resurgence in practical relevance and scholarly interest. While advances have been made in understanding the nature of sexual harassment and its consequences for victims and organizations, much work is still needed to further understand the phenomenon from various cultural (i.e., countries) and work contexts (i.e., industry and job types). Through a collection of five papers representing data from seven countries, this symposium aims to broaden our understanding of SH by 1) examining contextual factors that facilitate, mitigate, and link SH with work outcomes, 2) uncovering similarities and differences in SH research findings from various cultural and industry contexts, and 3) highlighting actionable future research directions and practical evidence-based resolutions. This symposium also offers insights on current conceptual, methodological, and practical issues related to SH research as conducted in various parts of the world. Collectively, the five papers set the stage for further scholarship on SH to aid in the development of programs and policies to help mitigate its negative impact on individuals, teams, and organizations.
