In all the tests, P-value<0.05 was considered significant.Results: The EMPLOYEES had a mean age of 36.84 years (SD=6.32). The majority of the participants were female (71%), and most acquire information related to health via the Internet (74.5%). Moreover, results showed a significant relationship between HEALTH LITERACY and health-promoting behaviors (F=7.22, P<0.001). HEALTH LITERACY also exerted a significant effect on interpersonal communication (P<0.1), nutrition (P<0.05), and responsibility toward health (P<0.001).Conclusion: Based on results, HEALTH LITERACY and health-promoting behaviors among the EMPLOYEES were undesirable and inadequate levels.
