Abstract
Loneliness and unhealthy eating habits can lead to serious health complications, and it's understandable why these two variables are looked at in relation to each other when we reach out to a nutritional or mental health specialist. If we refer to the organizational environment, it could be deduced that such a dysfunctional relationship could be quite difficult to identify, especially when the organization of which the individual is part is a multinational one, with a high number of employees. This this could lead to a significant decrease in the feeling of loneliness, implicit in maintaining healthy eating habits, which will increase the feeling of self-efficacy in relation to body weight. The objective of this research was to observe the relationship between the feeling of loneliness, eating habits and weight self-efficacy at work. The data obtained highlighted the fact that people tend to change their eating behaviors at work, depending on the environment they are part of. Thus, the social company has a significant impact on eating habits. At the same time, when social support within organizations is low or even absent, an increase in unhealthy eating behaviors can be observed among employees to cope with the feeling of loneliness. to observe whether young people are more susceptible to loneliness compared to other age groups. The results showed that the work environment is an important factor in maintaining loneliness. Tourism being a field of hospitality and openness to the customer, it generated a similar behavior inside the organization, among employees. Thus, it was possible to observe the fact that young people do not feel loneliness as much as in other fields of activity.
