The results of analysis are as follows. First, workers have a high level of awareness about the concept of sexual harrassment in general, even though there is a significant gender gap. Particularly, there are positive effects of preventive education because workers who attended education programs show higher level of awareness about sexual harrassment. Secondly, workers have low levels of perception on seriousness of sexual harrassment. However, female workers, youngers, and those who have lower job status show higher levels of awareness about its problem. Workers who have experienced an education program are better aware of seriousness of sexual harrassment than ones who have never taken it. In third, the higher workers are aware of sexual harrassment, the more they perceive its seriousness. In particular, female, well-educated, workers in educational institutions, those who experienced preventive education programs, or who have lower level of trust on their institutional regulation and procedure related to sexual harrassment show higher level of perception.
