目的-本研究的目的是调查参加和不参加电子健康工作场所体力活动(PA)干预的原因。设计/方法/方法-半结构访谈和两个焦点小组进行，有目的的样本是登记并参与干预的员工和没有完成登记的员工，因此没有参加干预。根据“参与的季节”和“不参与”的分组，使用主题分析来检查数据。调查结果--报告的参与理由包括需要更加积极，增加参与PA的动机，以及更好地管理体重。员工们被该计划的易用性和收到提醒的承诺所吸引。许多人觉得经理或同龄人鼓励他们入学。所报告的不参加的原因包括缺乏时间、对方案失去兴趣或缺乏完成登记的提醒。实际影响--未来的电子健康工作场所行为干预应考虑侧重于员工的需求和行为改变的动机，定期提醒参与者完成登记并确保程序成功完成。参与的障碍可以通过与目标人群的形成性研究和可行性研究来确定。原创性/价值-这项研究结合了对一些员工决定参加工作场所PA干预的原因以及为什么其他员工没有这样做的定性分析。这项研究强调了在设计、实施和促进类似干预措施时需要考虑的因素，并可为加强参与工作场所PA干预的战略提供参考。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the reasons for participating and not participating in an e-health workplace physical activity (PA) intervention.Design/methodology/approach - Semi-structured interviews and two focus groups were conducted with a purposive sample of employees who enrolled and participated in the intervention and with those who did not complete enrolment, hence did not participate in it. Data were examined using thematic analysis according to the clusters of " easons for participation" and for "non-participation".Findings - Reported reasons for participation included a need to be more active, to increase motivation to engage in PA, and to better manage weight. Employees were attracted by the perceived ease of use of the programme and by the promise of receiving reminders. Many felt encouraged to enrol by managers or peers. Reported reasons for non-participation included lack of time, loss of interest towards the programme, or a lack of reminders to complete enrolment.Practical implications - Future e-health workplace behavioural interventions should consider focusing on employees' needs and motivators to behaviour change, provide regular reminders for participants to complete enrolment and ensure that procedures are completed successfully. Barriers to participation could be identified through formative research with the target population and feasibility studies.Originality/value - This study combines a qualitative analysis of the reasons why some employees decided to enrol in a workplace PA intervention and why some others did not. This study highlights factors to consider when designing, implementing and promoting similar interventions and that could inform strategies to enhance participation in workplace PA interventions.
