Uma revisão bibliométrica sobre assédio de gênero na engenharia

Abstract

This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the literature on harassment and gender in engineering, with the intention of analyzing the main related publications and the landscape of scientific production on the topic. A bibliometric approach was chosen, as it allows for the evaluation of the evolution of the subject over time, identifying and characterizing the key publications for a deeper understanding. A significant increase in scientific production was observed in recent years, particularly between 2018 and 2021, reflecting greater awareness of gender harassment as a structural issue in the sector. Despite this progress, gaps in the literature remain, indicating that the magnitude of the problem is not fully addressed. The review also highlighted Brazil's contribution, which, while having a smaller number of publications compared to countries like the USA and Australia, has been significant, with studies focused on national particularities and legislative advances, such as Law No. 14.457/2022, which aims to combat harassment and promote gender equity in the workplace. The study concludes that, although research is expanding, continuous efforts are needed to deepen the understanding of gender harassment in engineering, combining public policies, organizational initiatives, and cultural changes to create a more inclusive and equitable environment
