Recently, sexual harassment is a serious concern by most of the people around the globe. According to World of Labour (2015), there are 75 countries that legally against and prohibits sexual harassment in their country (Hersch, 2015).

Job satisfaction is an essential element to study as it significance not only physically but also to the wellbeing of employees. Previous authors (Alagappar, Lean, David, Ishak, & Ngeow, 2011; Kenny, Samah, & Othman, 2011; Sabitha & Asmak, 2012) studied the relationship between sexual harassment and working environment in Malaysia but it was not known if there was a connection between sexual harassment variables and employee job satisfaction.
