| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the challenges that the employees of the Ministry of the Public Service in Lesotho face due to lack of harassment policies. This is because the Ministry of the Public Service, as the mother ministry, is mandated to look after and protect all civil servants, and in the absence of relevant policies employees are left vulnerable. This is an explorative case study of the Ministry of the Public Service – Lesotho Institute of Public Administration and Management (LIPAM). The researcher found that there are no conventional harassment policies in place, and therefore nothing is being done to address the challenges facing employees as regards harassment. Harassment affects not only the person being harassed and the harasser, it also affects the organisation as a whole as the harassment victim will not be productive, and this may impact on other employees. The conclusion is that there is ignorance and apathy from management as regards harassment as claims have been brought to their attention, but no tangible action has been taken. It is therefore the researcher‟s view that management and employees need to come together to deal with this problem and develop a conventional policy that suits everyone involved | en_ZA |
