[All PHR Questions]

Pat is interviewing Sammy for a job in his organization. During the interview, Pat asks Sammy for a dinner date. Sammy refuses his offer, but thanks him. Pat tells Sammy that a dinner date would be beneficial to the job selection. Sammy still refuses the dinner date. Based on this conversation, Pat decides not to hire Sammy for the position. This is an example of what type of sexual harassment?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Quid pro quo happens when the acceptance or decline of an unwanted sexual advance leads to a hiring, employment, or workplace decision.

Because Sammy refused the dinner date, Pat didn't hire Sammy.

Answer option A is incorrect. Covert is not a valid sexual harassment term.

Answer option C is incorrect. Contingent is not a valid sexual harassment term.

Answer option D is incorrect. A hostile work environment describes unwelcome sexual conduct that interferes with a person's ability to complete their work, intimidation, or an offensive work environment.

It's good that Pat's behavior was recognized as inappropriate, it creates a hostile work environment.

I'd be laughing my way out of that interview if someone tried to pull that on me. Quid pro quo all the way, what a joke.

Haha, Pat must be living in the dark ages if he thinks he can get away with that kind of behavior nowadays. Definitely quid pro quo.

I'd say that's a clear-cut case of quid pro quo sexual harassment. Pat was trying to leverage the job offer for personal gain.

Asking for a dinner date in exchange for the job? That's textbook quid pro quo, in my opinion.
