Abstract Background: Job strain includes physical or psychological symptoms appearing due to a stressor reception in workplace. People use coping resources to deal with these problems. Thus, after identifying the kind of stress, education must be performed to diminish or delete any hazardous health effects. Among all other factors, behavioral factors can potentially promote education and health. This study aimed to investigate the relation between job strain and health behaviors in employees of Islamic Azad University, region 4. Methods: This descriptive correlation study was performed on 197 randomly (cluster sampling) selected employees of Islamic Azad University, region 4. A questionnaire was completed by the staff to collect data. Findings: The results from this study revealed significant correlations between job strain and health behaviors such as diet (P ≤ 0.001), sleep (P ≤ 0.003) and income levels (P≤ 0.01). Conclusion: The present study demonstrated job strain to have many potential effects on employees' health. Therefore, workplace health promotion strategies can lead to job redesign, lower psychological job demands and higher job control in employees.
