Abstract
Building harmonious, stable, and progressive labor relationships to ensure the interest of employees, investors, and a country and to contribute to sustainable socio-economic development is a goal not only for employees, and employers, but also for a country. Achieving this goal requires efforts of both employees and employers, in which employees are protected or prevented from sexual harassment in the workplace. Victims often suffer from the negative impact of sexual harassment such as physical and mental health, especially if victims have a direct relationship with or depend on the employers. Then, it will directly negatively impact on productivity, quality, and efficiency of employees. Under psychological pressure and public rumor, victims of sexual harassment often keep silent or have to change their employee relationship. This will result in unstable and negative labor relationships. In the liberalization of labor relationships, effective prevention of sexual harassment in the workplace is a very important determinant in ensuring harmonious, stable, and progressive labor relationships
