我们调查了工作场所锻炼与心理困扰和工作投入的关系，这两个因素都与员工的心理健康和工作效率有关。使用的数据来自明治安田生活方式研究，收集时间为2017年7月至2017年12月。年度体检和问卷调查的数据来自日本东京的明治安田新宿医疗中心。将1321名受试者(平均年龄50.8±/-9.5岁，女性68.2%，白领64.7%)按工作场所锻炼频率分为每周锻炼少于1次、1次或2次、每周锻炼3次或以上3组。采用乌得勒支工作投入量表和凯斯勒心理困难量表(K6)评定工作投入活力和心理苦恼。采用Logistic回归分析来检验工作场所锻炼频率与工作投入或心理困扰之间的关系。人口统计学变量、健康行为、健康状况、工作特征以及客观测量的体力活动和久坐行为被调整为优势比(OR)和95%可信区间(95%CI)。每周锻炼1次或2次、每周锻炼3次或3次以上的受试者，其工作投入活力的OR显著高于每周锻炼1次或2次的受试者(OR=1.93，95%CI=1.00~3.71，p=0.049，OR=1.63，95%CI=1.23~2.15，p=0.001)。即使调整了协变量，两组工作场所锻炼都没有显示出对心理痛苦的显著OR。工作场所锻炼的实践与工作活力、体力活动和久坐行为呈正相关，而且这种联系与每周一次或两次或三次或三次以上的频率无关。然而，工作场所的锻炼与心理痛苦并不相关。我们的发现表明，每周至少进行一到两次工作场所锻炼对增强工作投入的活力有实际意义，尤其是在白领中。
We investigated the relationship between workplace exercise and psychological distress, and work engagement, both of which are factors related to the mental health and work productivity of employees. Data from the Meiji Yasuda Lifestyle study, collected from July 2017 through December 2017, were used. Data from an annual health checkup and questionnaire were collected from the Meiji Yasuda Shinjuku Medical Center in Tokyo, Japan. The 1321 participants (mean age: 50.8 +/- 9.5 years, rate of female: 68.2%, rate of white-collar workers: 64.7%) were divided into three groups based on the frequency of performing workplace exercise: less than once, once or twice, and three or more times a week. Vigor of work engagement and psychological distress were assessed using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6). Logistic regression analyses were performed to examine relationships between workplace exercise frequencies and work engagement or psychological distress. Demographic variables, health behaviors, health status, work characteristics, and objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behavior were adjusted for odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Participants who performed workplace exercise once or twice and three or more times a week showed a significantly higher OR (OR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.00-3.71, p = 0.049, OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.23-2.15, p = 0.001, respectively) for vigor of work engagement. Neither groups of workplace exercise showed a significant OR for psychological distress even when adjusted for covariates. The practice of workplace exercise is positively and independently related to vigor of work engagements of physical activity and sedentary behavior, and the association was observed regardless of the frequency of once or twice, or three or more times a week. Workplace exercise, however, does not correlate with psychological distress. Our findings indicated that workplace exercise at least once or twice a week could have practical implications for the enhancement of vigor of work engagement, especially among white-collar workers.
