Abstract

Drawing on the work–home resources model, this study investigated the relationship between sexual harassment perceived by employees in the workplace and their work–family enrichment. We considered the potential mediating role of employees’ organization-based self-esteem and moderating role of their polychronicity. Using two-wave time-lagged data collected from 362 part-time Master of Business Administration students with full-time jobs in China, we found that perceived sexual harassment at work was negatively related to employees’ work–family enrichment via reduced organization-based self-esteem. Polychronicity alleviated the negative relationship between sexual harassment and organization-based self-esteem, and the mediating effect of sexual harassment on work–family enrichment through decreased organization-based self-esteem. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.
