Abstract: Sexual harassment remains prevalent in the workplace as well as a significant financial burden for organizations. Given the cost associated with sexual harassment, reputational damage, and internal disturbances, sexual harassment is a mounting apprehension because senior managers are responsible for bestowing an organizational culture that is intolerant to such engrossed behavior. It is imperative to explore how workplace stories and office talk are influenced by organizational culture and how organizational culture affects the workers' perceptions of Me Too and consequences of sexual harassment. Understanding the phenomenon of sexual harassment at work is vital to shaping organizational culture, behavior, and policies aimed at reducing sexual misconduct at work. Existing research indicates that 81% of women and 43% of men have experienced an aspect of sexual harassment. This study uses a content analysis exploration of the literature to better understand the impact and solutions to sexual harassment in the workplace.
