EXPOSING ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SENSEMAKING

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter begins with a brief overview of the continued reliance on person-level solutions to sexual harassment (SH) and the reluctance to address systemic factors. It then examines the organizational factors that enable SH to persist, including a toxic form of organizational culture-the masculinity contest culture (MCC). Drawing from data collected from a Canadian police organization, this chapter explores sensemaking as a viable process for exposing and diagnosing organizational culture and its relationship to SH. Ethical leadership is briefly discussed as a potential intervention, followed by opportunities for future research.
