Introduction: workplace environment can lead to a higher probability of smoking, alcohol consumption, lower physical activity and unhealthy diet. The aim of the research: determine factors of the workplace environment and their relationship with health-promoting and risky behavior. Objectives of the research: 1. To evaluate the factors of the workplace environment at the X workplace. 2. To determine the prevalence of health-promoting and risky behavior among employees of company X. 3. To determine the relationship between the factors of the workplace environment and health-promoting and risky behavior. Methods: evaluation of the internal consistency of the questionnaire by calculating the Cronbach  coefficient. The employees of company X were interviewed with the help of an electronic questionnaire. Microsoft Excel and R Commander and the following statistical methods were used for data management and analysis: Chi-square test (if necessary – Fisher’s exact test), binary logistic regression, Mann-Whitney test. Statistically significant – if p ≤ 0,05. The results and conclusions: 71.5% of X company’s employees work 9-12 hours a day, 56.1% - 41-48 hours a week, 58.4% - experience high physical load, and 21.6% experience effort-reward imbalance. Alcohol is consumed by 67.2% of employees, of which 21.2% - at risk. Tobacco products are smoked by 36.2% of employees, and electronic cigarettes by 15.4%. As many as 59.3% of workers have BMI that is too high. A considerable number of employees always and often tend to: skip one of the daily meals (58.4%), eat late at night (36.8%), overeat (22.5%), choose chips (12.2%) or sweets (29.3%) for snacks, drink enough water (51.6%). A greater proportion of workers under stress tend to eat less rather than more and eat more unhealthy foods rather than healthy ones. Working 9-12 hours a day increases the chances of smoking tobacco products and eating late at night. Working 41-48 hours a week is associated with an increased likelihood of risky alcohol consumption and overeating. High overcommitment was found to be associated with skipping one meal of the day, snacking on chips, and eating less under stress. Effort-reward imbalance increases the chances of overeating and eating more unhealthy foods under stress, high physical exertion increases the chances of drinking enough water, and low and moderate physical exertion increases the chances of eating more unhealthy foods under stress. |
