Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between smoking behavior and individual job performance at work. The hypotheses were generated upon the rationale of the study, and an empirical research was conducted. The survey was conducted on employees working in various sectors and organizations in Istanbul, Turkey. The interpretation of the statistical data revealed that there is a significant, negative and a weak relationship between smoking behavior and job performance. According to the findings of the regression analyses, there are significant and negative influences on job performance in three dimensions of smoking behaviors apart from the dimensions of smoking related injuries and occupational accidents. As a result, the total smoking behavior domain with four dimensions influenced job performance significantly and negatively. With this study’s evidences, organizations are encouraged to take precautions and actions to decrease smoking in workplaces and in individual lives, in order to achieve better individual and organizational results of well-being.

吸烟行为对个人工作绩效影响的研究

摘要本文旨在探讨吸烟行为与个人工作表现之间的关系。这些假设是根据研究的基本原理产生的，并进行了实证研究。这项调查是针对土耳其伊斯坦布尔各部门和组织的员工进行的。对统计数据的解释表明，吸烟行为与工作表现之间存在显著、消极和微弱的关系。根据回归分析的结果，除了吸烟伤害和职业事故维度外，吸烟行为的三个维度对工作绩效都有显著和负面的影响。因此，具有四个维度的总吸烟行为域对工作表现产生了显著和负面的影响。根据这项研究的证据，鼓励组织采取预防措施和行动，减少工作场所和个人生活中的吸烟，以实现更好的个人和组织幸福感。
