role in a person’s quality of work. The lifestyle of a person is maintained based on his type of work

and work environment. We spend as much as a third of our lives at work, thus promotion of good

health in the workplace is a common interest of employers and employees (Stergar, 2005). Each

profession has a special set of qualifications. Flight attendants must meet the demands of the task

given to them. To be able to perform the tasks required of this profession, candidates, in addition
