Abstract

The study investigates the link between job satisfaction, workplace locus of control and eating behavior in employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (M.A.I.). Using the Dutch Questionnaire for the Assessment of Restrictive, Emotional and External Eating Behavior (DEBQ) and the Occupational Stress Questionnaire (OSI), the research was conducted by applying online questionnaires on the Google Forms platform, on a group of participants consisting of 60 M.A.I. employees. The results highlight the complexity of influences on eating behavior in the workplace environment, highlighting the importance of a satisfactory work environment for promoting health and emotional balance of employees.
