Predicting the decision to confront or report sexual harassment

Article Abstract:

An accurate predictive index of the capacity of women employees to report or confront sexual harrasment incidents in the workplace is the measure of personal assertiveness of each employee. Procedural justice also plays an important role in the decision to confront or report such cases. An interesting sidelight of the research showed the low perceptions of justice among women employees who have reported sexual harassment following formal complaint channels created in their workplaces.

Disentangling the relationship between the achievement striving and impatience-irritability dimensions of type A behavior, performance and health

Article Abstract:

Two dimensions of Type A behavior were measured to assess their predictive value within health and performance domains. The two dimensions were impatience-irritability (II) and achievement striving (AS). The sample consisted of 113 university students. Results indicate that AS exclusively predicts performance level and that II exclusively predicts the incidence of headaches and sleeping habits.
