from UGRB to work satisfaction was positive (see Table 4), albeit small (.06; t = 2.13), in the<br />

women's cross-validation sample. No explanation is offered because this path was negative in the<br />

derivation sample. Finally, strong paths were observed between psychological and physical wellbeing<br />

(women = .34, men = .27) and organizational commitment was associated with satisfaction<br />

with coworkers, work, and the military for both men and women. For women, satisfaction with<br />

supervisor predicted organizational commitment (see Table 5).<br />

In sum, military personnel reported more retaliation when they (1) worked in a climate<br />

where UGRG was believed likely to occur, (2) endorsed more unprofessional, gender-related<br />

behaviors, and (3) experienced these behaviors as more threatening or severe and responded by<br />

seeking social support, confronting or avoiding the perpetrator, or attempted to cope by managing<br />

their cognitive and emotional reactions to the behavior. Female personnel endorsed more<br />

retaliation when they reported UGRB to their supervisors, leadership, or organization.<br />

Conversely, retaliation was less when personnel perceived that leaders made efforts to stop<br />

harassment. Retaliation was directly and inversely related to (1) coworker satisfaction, (2)<br />

psychological well-being, and (3) physical well-being for male and female personnel. Decrements<br />

in elements of job satisfaction and satisfaction with the military were in turn related to lowered<br />
