“…Our review of the management literature confirms our initial assertion that organizational scholars have generated limited knowledge about the physical activity–job performance relationship, with formal performance measures obtained in only three quasi-experimental studies in our review (Daley & Parfitt, 1996; Gubler et al, 2018; Kerr & Vlaswinkel, 1995). However, given threats to internal validity in this research design (Campbell, 1957) and the lack of consideration of mechanisms, firm conclusions are difficult to draw from these investigations.…”

“…Management physical activity intervention studies can be categorized into quasi-experimental studies (e.g., company gym members vs. nonmembers; Daley & Parfitt, 1996), comparisons of physical activity interventions against other interventions (Bruning & Frew, 1987), and randomized controlled trials of physical activity interventions (Lennefer, Lopper, Wiedemann, Hess, & Hoppe, 2020). Physical activity has been shown in these studies to benefit productivity (Gubler, Larkin, & Pierce, 2018) and reduce long-term absenteeism (Kerr & Vlaswinkel, 1995), as well as to influence correlates of performance, including stress reactions (Clark et al, 2014), somatic complaints (Patterson, Bennett, & Wiitala, 2005), and job satisfaction (Daley & Parfitt, 1996).…”

While physical activity is widely recognized to be relevant to employee well-being and organizational health care costs, the management literature has yet to clarify when, how, and why employee physical activity influences job performance. Therefore, the goal of this review is to provide a cross-disciplinary synthesis of evidence surrounding the implications of physical activity for job performance. After first conducting an emergent systematic review of the management literature to verify our assertion that this research base has inadequately addressed the relationship between physical activity and job performance, we performed a cross-disciplinary review of six key disciplines (sports sciences, public environmental occupational health, general medicine internal, physiology, neuroscience, and psychology/psychiatry) to develop a resource-based framework that serves to identify how physical activity relates to job performance. This unifying framework is intended to guide future research on employee physical activity. As an initial application of this framework, we provide a set of future research directions centered on empirically evaluating proposed mechanisms, boundary conditions, and temporal factors that can inform physical activity research in organizational contexts.

“…However, before discussing implications for practice, it is necessary to mention a caveat. Despite the theoretical contribution of Lazarus's theory and the empirical evidence that supports it, most stress interventions continue to focus almost exclusively on the individual (Bond & Bunce, 2000; Kerr & Vlaswinkel, 1995; McGuigan, 1994). The implicit message in such programs is that the participants are responsible for their stress because they lack the inner resources to deal effectively with the challenges that confront them.…”

Female clerical workers' occupational stress: The role of person and social resources, negative affectivity, and stress appraisals.

Relations among person (i.e., agentic traits) and social resources (i.e., social support), work-stress appraisals, and depression were examined with data from 2 longitudinal studies of female clerical workers (Study 1, N ϭ 205; Study 2, N ϭ 207). Main, moderating, and mediating effects of appraisals on the relationship between resources and change in depression were tested and partially replicated on an independent sample (Study 2), which controlled for negative affectivity (a pervasive tendency toward negative emotionality). Results were consistent with predictions that primary appraisals (i.e., threats to self-esteem) contribute to change in depression beyond the effects of person and social resources and negative affectivity. There was modest evidence that control appraisals moderate the effects of optimism and work support.

“…The finding that individuals' recreational sport involvement could relieve their work stress is consistent with that gained in previous research. That is, sport participation may promote job performance and aid in stress management, two consequences of which may ultimately reduce work stress (Kerr & Vlaswinkel, 1995;Yeh & Chao, 2011).…”

I investigated the relationships between recreational sport involvement, work stress, leisure sport coping strategies, quality of life, and sport commitment in sport participants in central Taiwan. These variables were assessed in a structured questionnaire and LISREL path analysis was used to verify the proposed conceptual model. Results showed that regular participation in recreational sports may serve as a coping strategy and consequently reduce work stress. In addition, sport participation may facilitate continued sport participation owing to improvements in individuals' quality of life.
