Abstract
Achieving a considerable level of operational effectiveness of female workers in the employment of technical and vocational education is essential to the management of institutions.This study, therefore,considered combating sexual harassment for the operational effectiveness of women in the employment of technical and vocational education in Ogun State. Three hypotheses were formulated; the population of the study consists of female employees' in Technical Vocational Institutions in Ogun State,Nigeria.Sample of one hundred twenty (120) female staff was randomly selected from three technical vocational educations in Ogun State (Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro and College of Education Osiele, Abeokuta) currently in service of the institutions. Two-structured questionnaires tagged Situation-Specific Assessment of Sexual Harassment (SSASH) Suzanne (2001), and Questions for Operational Effectiveness (QOE) Connie (2013) was adapted. Z-test at 5% level of significance was employed to test hypotheses for validating sexual harassment and the effectiveness of workers. The result shows that sexual hostility and unwanted sexual attention harms employees' efficiency on the job. Sexual coercion was found to be statistically insignificant, which induce that sexual coercion does not have any effect on the operational effectiveness of women in technical education. It was concluded, that combating sexual harassment for effective job performance of female employees’ in specialized training needed to be geared towards other directions rather than rape and coercion. It was therefore recommended that employers should provide education and information about harassment to all staff. The study also sensitized females on types of sexual harassment that goes on in the workplace and how to prevent it from happening.
