ABSTRACT
Organizational sexuality refers to the relationship between organizational arrangements and the construction and manipulation of sexuality. Sexuality, at its most basic level, can be defined as a person's sexual self; those aspects of a person that make him or her sexually attractive to another. Despite the fact that sexual attractiveness can take various forms, dominant (male) images of heterosexuality persist, within which the creation and exploitation of female sexuality is a particularly pernicious aspect, but which also involves homosexual and lesbian harassment (Schneider 1982). Evidence of widespread sexual harassment in the workplace, and the exploitation of female sexuality (such as in advertising and sales techniques) has led feminists to examine the role of organizations in regard to sexuality.
