Job Description
Workplace sexual harassment is a significant issue in Australia costing our economy more than $3.5 billion each year. Sexual harassment disrupts business operations and slows down progress in achieving gender equality at work. Traditional prevention methods include policies training and reporting which focus on the behaviour itself without addressing its root causes. This misdirection of effort is a major reason why the problem persists.
Our team has been awarded funding for an ARC Linkage Project that will learn more about the origins of sexual harassment in the organisational system looking deeper into aspects like organisational culture social dynamics job and task characteristics technology and the physical work environment. By gaining a richer understanding of these risk factors we will develop new evidencebased prevention strategies. Our research will provide valuable insights into where and how to intervene to change the organisational systems in which sexual harassment occurs.
Griffith Universitys Centre for Work Organisation & Wellbeing is looking for a passionate PhD candidate looking at building a career in employment equity and diversity and is concerned about workplace sexual harassment.
The successful applicant will be enrolled at the Nathan campus.
