Abstract

According to the survey, the world's office workers are currently facing sever health problems, especially digestive and psychological diseases. Most digestive problems are caused by employees being tired of work and neglecting to eat regularly, especially at lunch. Therefore, this study hopes to conduct a regression analysis to determine the relationship between lunch time and work efficiency by surveying the lunch canteen dining situation and afternoon office efficiency of the office population. The study shows the control variables, especially the control subjectivity, were not sufficiently prepared, resulting in poor data stability. More objective questionnaires could be designed in future studies to obtain more stable data.

Keywords
