Resumen de The use and consequences of strategic sexual performances

Marla Baskerville Watkins, Alexis Nicole Smith, Karl Aquino

• Organizational research on workplace sexuality generally focuses on sexual harassment or workplace romance to the exclusion of strategic forms of sexuality (i.e., the instrumental use of sexuality to influence others or gain desired ends). We consider men's and women's strategic sexual performances as a form of social influence and address the positive and negative consequences that may follow. This review highlights the occurrence and complexities of strategic sexual performances and discusses the important implications of sexual performances on managers, employees, and workplace policies.
