Nikotinová závislost a její vliv na profesní život v chemické firmě XYZ

This bachelor's thesis examines nicotine dependence and its impact on the professional lives of employees at chemical company XYZ. The theoretical section defines key concepts related to nicotine dependence, its causes, manifestations and consequences, as well as the various forms of nicotine use, the legislative framework protecting non-smokers in the workplace, and options for prevention and treatment. The empirical part focuses on how nicotine product use affects the company's economic functioning, work performance, workplace relationships, and employees' perceptions of fairness between users and non-users. The research was conducted using a quantitative questionnaire survey among employees of company XYZ, supplemented by two semi-structured expert interviews. The results provide insight into the everyday working reality of nicotine product users and demonstrate that this issue has a measurable economic, organisational, and relational dimension. The thesis proposes recommendations for improving workplace policies, health prevention, and support for employees seeking to reduce or quit nicotine use.
