The current study investigated individuals' responses and evaluations of worksite health programs and policies. Upper level undergraduates rated the legitimacy of policies and programs exerting low, moderate, or high levels of control over employees’ health behaviors. The findings showed that individuals’ nutrition orientations accelerated the decrease in legitimacy ratings that accompanied increased control over employee fitness and health risk appraisal. On the other hand, individuals’ anti-smoking orientations slowed the decrease in legitimacy ratings that accompanied increased control over employee smoking behavior. Implications of the findings for job counselors and human resource personnel are discussed.
