AB - This study explores the organizational opportunity structure that enables sexual violence by analyzing the narratives of university members who experienced or witnessed incidents of sexual violence in the 2010s. Using the gendered organization concept and criminological discussion of white- collar crime, this study identifies organizational elements that enable harm and contribute to the silencing and concealment of victimization. First, status power is reinforced because everyday life in universities is organized around hierarchical relationships and the commercialization of teaching and research activities. The hierarchical division of labor and unequal distribution of resources have enabled the abuse of status power. Second, the intensification of the differential association in white-collar organizations has increased both competition and communal feelings among members. In groups, victims and allies are more likely to be excluded from work or relationships. The differentiated nature of the association blurs the boundaries between public and private relationships, creating a sexualized position for women who are asked to perform emotional labor. Third, the white-collar nature of crime utilizes professional positions and networks to make resistance difficult. The social and symbolic capital at play, which greatly influences the careers of others, indicates that perpetration is either not perceived as harmful for those involved or induces adaptive forms of avoidance and conformity. These findings explain why anti-sexual violence movements and systems exist, but their impact is offset within organizations, raising the need for organizational justice transformations.
