Navigating Office Romance Policies and Practices.

This video summary is from the book by Drs. Bahaudin Mujtaba and Frank Cavico on "Organizational Romance Policies and Sexual Favoritism in the “MeToo” Workplace: Legal, Ethical, and Practical Considerations for Management", which examines the legal, ethical, and practical complexities of romantic relationships within the modern workplace. The authors analyze how office romance and sexual favoritism can lead to claims of discrimination or the creation of a hostile work environment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

To evaluate these issues, the authors apply four major ethical theories, including Utilitarianism and Kantian ethics, to determine the morality of various corporate practices and behaviors. Special attention is given to the impact of the “MeToo” movement on organizational culture and the evolving legal landscape surrounding non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Finally, the book provides concrete management recommendations, such as the implementation of "love contracts" and comprehensive training to mitigate liability. Through this multidisciplinary lens, the authors aim to help leaders foster a fair and professional work atmosphere that balances personal freedom with organizational integrity.
