Abstract: This study centered on effect of social-sexual behavior on workers’ productivity in banking sub-sector in Nigeria. The study sought to ascertain the extent sexual harassment affects the productivity of the employees. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. The target population was the bank workers. The principal instrument for collection of primary data was the questionnaire which was structured in five point Likert scale. The test retest method was used to check the reliability of the measuring instrument. The result gave a reliability coefficient value of 0.771 which indicated an acceptable internal consistency. Multiple regression analysis statistical technique was used to test the hypotheses formulated to guide the study. The findings showed that sexual harassment increases turnover and absenteeism rate, lowers individual and group productivity and reduces manager’s time to investigate complaints. The study recommended that the management should strictly adhere to rules regarding recruitment, promotion, discipline, reward and training so that merit prevails against nepotism because this will ensure that sexual harassment or sexual demands as a measure for bathe in these processes are avoided. It was concluded that sexual harassment and negative workplace romance in organizations can cause significant stress and anxiety that leads to mental and emotional problems.
