Abstract

Food is one of the topics that have always been discussed by scientists, because it is an essential requirement for human well-being. This study investigates the relationship between non-Halal food and gluttony in the staff of some organizations in 1396. In this descriptive-correlational study, 950 employees of several organizations and large companies were selected by simple random sampling. Out of the distributed questionnaires, 647 questionnaires were returned to the researcher (with a return rate of 68.1 percent) and formed the sample of this research. The two factors of "non-Halal eating" and " gluttony" separately, were used as a data collection tool in questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results of this study showed a significant positive relationship between non-Halal eating and gluttony (r = 0.32, p <0.001).
