Employee health and well-being scholars have investigated employee health behaviors such as diet, exercise, and sleep and how they may influence work outcomes. Such research has taken a variable-centered approach to investigate the health behaviors as co-existing variables in a model or as moderators of one another. However, a person-centered approach considers the variables collectively for individuals and provides important insight into the role of health behavior profiles. In this paper, we draw on the work-life literature and take a holistic, person-centered approach to investigating employee health behaviors. We conducted two studies, one with a U.S. sample and one with an international sample and analyzed the data using latent profile analysis. In both studies, four health profiles emerged. We further discovered that health locus of control is a predictor of profile membership, and that general health and work performance are outcomes. Overall, our findings contribute to a better, more holistic understanding of health behaviors.KEYWORDS: DietExerciseSleepHealth behaviorsLatent profile analysis
