Background: Many organizations face health behavior related issues such as anxiety, depression, traumatic stress disorder in their employee performance, particularly in those who had experienced hand-finger amputation as a result of work accidents. Such issues reduce their overall productivity when they return to work. Aim: The objective of this research was to measure the impact of rehabilitation program participation, psychological support, workplace accommodations and self-efficacy in daily tasks on the health behaviour of patients who experienced hand finger amputation as a result of work accidents. Method: The study used cross-sectional data, collected from 210 respondents across organizations in Adana, Turkey. The empirical results were checked using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21. Results: The findings of this study confirmed that rehabilitation participation program, psychological support, and self-efficacy in daily tasks had a significant and direct impact on the health behaviour of patients who experienced hand-finger amputation as a result of work accidents. However, the study also reported there was no significant and direct impact of workplace accommodations on the health behaviour of patients who experienced hand-finger amputation as a result of work accidents. Conclusion: The findings of this research would contribute to the body of literature in the form of new rationale development and would provide practical solutions to improve employees' health behaviour.
