Abstract: The research project titled “The Effect of Anti-Sexual Harassment (ASH) Policies on the Job Performance of Journalists in Five Broadcasting Media Houses in Rwanda” focused on assessing the impact of both awareness and understanding of ASH policies and the implementation and enforcement of these policies on the job performance of journalists. The study targeted journalists and media organizations in Kigali, Rwanda, and categorized the effects into two groups: high and very high impact. The study found that for every one-unit increase in awareness of ASH policies, job performance improved by 0.289 units. This suggests that even a modest increase in knowledge about the policies can have a positive effect on journalists’ ability to perform their duties effectively. More strikingly, the study revealed that a one-unit increase in the implementation of these policies resulted in a much larger improvement in job performance, with a gain of 0.885 units. This indicates that the actual enforcement and application of ASH policies have a far more substantial impact on journalists’ job performance compared to mere awareness. The P-values for all factors related to awareness, understanding, and implementation were found to be below 0.05, indicating that the relationships between these variables and job performance are statistically significant. This provides compelling evidence supporting the study’s hypotheses, affirming that both the awareness and enforcement of anti-sexual harassment policies are crucial factors in improving job performance among journalists.
