Abstract
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the
mediating role of trust in the manager in the effect of the
perception of gender equality on sexual harassment
reporting in the workplace. This research is a relational
survey model based on the quantitative research method. It
has been determined that participants' perceptions of gender
equality had a significant and positive effect on sexual
harassment reporting and trust in managers. Also, a positive
effect of trust in the manager on sexual harassment reporting
was determined. Trust in the manager plays a mediating role
in the effect of perception of gender equality on sexual
harassment reporting in the workplace, implying that sexual
harassment reporting in the workplace has cultural roots,
such as the perception of gender equality, and trust in the
manager predicts this perception.
