办公室工作人员通常是干预措施的目标，以改变他们的坐着的行为，但有有限的证据表明，坐着休息的相关性，以告知干预措施的发展。本研究确定了个人，工作场所和空间配置相关的频率休息坐在（数/小时）在办公室工作人员（n=5531）分层的办公室类型（私人封闭，共享，开放式）。所有的行为和潜在的相关因素都是通过使用在线横断面调查的自我报告来测量的。回归分析显示，年龄是唯一的社会人口特征与频率的休息坐在所有的办公室类型。更大的工作自主权和本地连接与坐在共享和开放式办公室的休息频率呈正相关。在开放式办公室，同事的接近度与休息的频率呈负相关。在所有类型的办公室中，同事的可见性与休息的频率呈正相关。这项研究表明，个人，工作场所和空间配置因素都与坐着休息的频率，这些关系因办公室类型而异。这些观察结果扩展了先前的研究，这些研究仅在单个水平（例如个体）上检查相关性。这一证据可能有助于指导未来的工作场所设计干预措施，以增加坐着休息和工人的体力活动。
Office workers are commonly targeted in interventions to modify their sitting behaviour, yet there is limited evidence of the correlates of breaks in sitting to inform intervention development. This study identifies the individual, workplace and spatial configuration correlates of the frequency of breaks in sitting (number/hour) in office workers (n=5531) stratified by office type (private-enclosed, shared, open plan). All behaviours and potential correlates were measured via self-report using an online cross-sectional survey. Regression analyses revealed age was the only socio-demographic characteristic associated with frequency of breaks in sitting in all office types. Greater job autonomy and local connectivity were positively associated with frequency of breaks in sitting in shared and open-plan offices. In open-plan offices co-worker proximity was negatively associated with frequency of breaks in sitting. Co-worker visibility was positively associated with frequency of breaks in sitting in all office types. This study demonstrates that individual, workplace and spatial configuration factors are all associated with the frequency of breaks in sitting and that these relationships differ by office type. These observations extend prior studies that have only examined correlates at a single level (e.g. the individual). This evidence could be useful to guide future interventions in the design of workplaces to increase breaks in sitting and workers' physical activity.
