Abstract

While there has been considerable investigation of sexual harassment in large firms and in the federal government, much less research has focused on smaller firms and government units. This study investigated small government units (city and county governments) regarding the application of sexual harassment policies. In addition, attitudes toward sexual harassment were also studied. Findings revealed that just over half of the sample had a policy in place and the existing policies did not consistently provide for any training. Attitudes toward harassment were somewhat contradictory showing feelings of responsibility for employee actions, while not completely believing sexual harassment claims. These findings and their ramifications are discussed.
