State workers in California were surveyed to determine if they had been sexually harassed on the job, and what they knew about procedures and laws for dealing with such harassment. Responses were received from 1,151 professional and administrative employees representing a sexual and ethnic distribution similar to the total civil service work force in the state. The survey found that most workers agree with the current legal definition of sexual harassment, although more women than men are likely to label any sexual incident at work as sexual harassment. The study also found that more people experience "less severe" harassment (such as sexual comments) than "more severe" harassment (such as sexual assault). About 19 percent of the workers said they had been sexually harassed as state civil service employees; about 89 percent of these employees were women. Only about half of the workers surveyed were aware of a sexual harassment policy and only half knew that their department had a discrimination complaint process. Although most workers believed that their departments would care about them and enforce policies if they were harassed at work and filed a complaint, they thought the process would not be very swift and were not completely sure that they would not suffer retaliation. The study concluded that the majority of state employees had not been harassed and had a very positive attitude toward their employer; those workers who were harassed, however, tended to be left without adequate information and support.
