| Abstract: | Theorists have suggested that oppressions based on gender and sexual orientation are inherently linked. The present study
aims to operationalize and test this proposition, by modeling relationships between sexual harassment and heterosexist harassment.
Based on prior research in organizational and feminist psychology, we hypothesized a three-factor model of workplace harassment,
comprising sexualized harassment, gender harassment, and heterosexist harassment. We then factor-analyzed data from 629 employees
(both female and male, sexual minority and heterosexual) in higher education, finding this hypothesized model to be superior
to three competing alternatives. Next came multiple-group analyses, which suggested this model to be invariant by gender,
but not sexual orientation. Implications of these findings for research, theory, and practice are discussed.
