Abstract
Purpose. This research explores sexuality and its impacts on individual perceptions, organizational culture, and organizational life. Sexuality can be termed as social expressions of physicality, real as well as imagined desires, and various body states which lead to expressions and perceptions of sexuality (Hearn; 1987). Theoretical framework. The theoretical framework for this study was based on theories of attribution, communication, as well as critical theory. Methodology. This study will investigate how individuals express sexuality and communicate it through intellectual, emotional and physical dimensions of their behavior. The study examines the communication of sexuality within an organization and its impacts on organizational life and culture. Findings and conclusion. This study exposed that the communication of sexuality on three dimensions of sexpression is apparent despite being kept in check by organizational policies and procedures. In addition, the phenomena of sexpression can be identified. Organizational relationships are affected through the overt and covert culture of expressed sexuality that unconsciously operates within an organization yet does not alter the organization. Recommendations. Organizations cannot control biological imperatives of a person's sexuality. Training on how to better identify sexpression in the workplace should be considered to ensure that organizations make every effort to prepare employees for efficient and effective business practices. Perhaps better training for managers and supervisors could alleviate potential instances of sexual harassment and costly human resource issues.
