TY  - JOUR
AB  - Purpose – This study explores the relationship between sexualization of the work environment and emotional exhaustion, and develops some key antecedents of sexualization of the work environment. It was conducted in an emerging society, India, with high rate of crime against women, particularly related to sexual harassment and sexual assault.Design/methodology/approach - To test hypotheses, structural equation modelling was performed. The hypotheses were tested with data from 1101 white collar workers in India in three ways. Findings - Contact with other gender and flexible work arrangements were positively associated with sexualization of the work environment; and sexualization of the work environment waspositively associated with emotional exhaustion. In addition, sexualization of the work environment mediated the relationship between the two antecedent variables and emotional exhaustion.Research limitations/implications - There is a possible bias arising from the use of cross-sectional data. However, a number of methods were implemented to minimize it, including survey design and data analysis.Practical implications - The study offers some important suggestions for workplaces with a greater proportion of young male employees, particularly in a societal context like India.Originality/value –The paper provides evidence of the negative impact of sexualization of the work environment, and thereby contributes to current understanding of the “dark side” of behavior at work that might have significant impact on society.
