Abstract
Sexual harassment has been recognized as a serious problem in the literature over the past 30 years. In this
paper, we review the existing research surrounding the phenomenon of sexual harassment, paying particular
attention to factors of relevance for understanding perpetrators of sexual harassment. We also provide an
overview of the perplexing nature of sexual harassment and the various concerns that have surrounded the
topic leading to its recognition. The different theoretical perspectives and models of sexual harassment
(sociocultural, organizational, sex-role spillover, natural/biological, socio-cognitive, and four-factor) are also considered and reviewed. Finally, lack of empirical evidence and focus on assessment and treatment for
harassers is recognized in this paper, and several suggestions are made for future research and treatment
avenues relating to the sexual harasser.
