Percepções de tutores sobre o assédio sexual sofrido por jovens trabalhadores nas organizações

Abstract

The studies on sexual harassment in organizations are still few explored in the Administration and they need problematization regarding the consent, submission and freedom of the individuals. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to analyze how sexual harassment situations experienced by young workers are perceived from the perspective of the professionals of the Alpha Association, who assist them and contribute to their inclusion in the world of work. Thus, a case study, exploratory in nature and qualitative approach was carried out. The data collection was done through interviews with a semi-structured script with 21 professionals of the Association, whose data were submitted to content analysis. Initially, an attempt was made to interview the young workers, but the Association strictly denied any contact with them. It was noticed that the young people who suffered sexual harassment are predominantly of the feminine kind and that the lived situation brings consequences of personal and professional nature. This treatment was perceived as necessary for the demystification of the subject, as well as for a clearer and more denatured understanding of this practice in the labor relations, avoiding the victim's blame and the trivialization of the aggression, so that experiences of this nature do not compromise the future professionals.
