The research paper examines three existing models of sexual harassment from the literature-the psychological model, the organizational model, and the socio-cultural model. From the psychological models, the author examines the impact that "attitudes towards women" has upon the presence of sexual harassment; from the organizational model, "power distance" has been examined; and, from the socio-cultural model, "gender based role expectations" has been examined. The research paper throws light on the fact that sexual harassment cannot be understood from the perspective of a single model or predictor but it is always a combination of different factors or predictors which lead to sexual harassment at work place. Key words-workplace sexual harassment, models of sexual harassment, predictors of sexual harassment.
