IntroductionSedentariness is associated with chronic health conditions, impaired cognitive function and obesity. Work contributes significantly to sedentariness because many work tasks necessitate sitting. Few sustained solutions exist to reverse workplace sedentariness. Here, we evaluated a chair and an under-table device that were designed to promote fidgeting while seated. Our hypothesis was that an under-table leg-fidget bar and/or a fidget-promoting chair significantly increased energy expenditure. We compared these devices with chair-based exercise and walking.Materials and methodsWe measured energy expenditure and heart rate in 16 people while they sat and worked using a standard chair, an under-desk device that encourages leg fidgeting and a fidget-promoting chair. We compared outcomes with chair-based exercise and walking.ResultsEnergy expenditure increased significantly while using either an under-table leg-fidget bar or a fidget-promoting chair, when compared to the standard office chair (standard chair, 76±31 kcal/hour; leg-fidget bar, 98±42 kcal/hour (p<0.001); fidget chair, 89±40 kcal/hour (p=0.03)). However, heart rate did not increase significantly in either case. Bouts of exercise performed while seated provided energetic and heart rate equivalency to walking at 2 mph.ConclusionsChairs and devices that promote fidgeting can increase energy expenditure by ∼20–30% but not increase heart rate. Dynamic sitting may be among a lexicon of options to help people move more while at work.

“…Walking or standing while at work are 2 possible solutions for disrupting total workplace sitting time (Dempsey et al, 2016); however, these options are often not practical (Judice et al, 2015; Levin and Chisholm, 2016) because leaving a workstation or office can hinder workflow (Stengard et al, 2016). New methods are needed to help sedentary workers move more.…”

Introduction: Deskwork contributes substantially to sedentariness. Here, we evaluated an under-the-table apparatus that was designed to promote leg movement (fidgeting) while seated. Our hypothesis was that the under-the-table apparatus would increase energy expenditure.Methods: We measured energy expenditure and heart rate in 26 people while they sat and worked using a standard chair, walked on a treadmill, and sat and worked using an under-the-desk apparatus that encouraged leg movement.Results: Energy expenditure increased significantly while using the under-the-table apparatus when compared to the standard office chair (standard chair, 81 ± 18 kcal/h; under-the-table apparatus, 96 ± 23 kcal/h) (P < 0.001); representing an 18 ± 16% increase. The changes in energy expenditure were not as great as walking (1 mph, 168 ± 46 kcal/h, P < 0.001; 2 mph, 205 ± 51 kcal/, P < 0.001), representing 107 ± 37% and 155 ± 48% increases over baseline, respectively.Conclusions: An under-the-table apparatus that promotes leg movement can increase energy expenditure by approximately 20%. Dynamic sitting is promoted by this apparatus and may be among a lexicon of options to help people move more while seated at work.

“…This situation causes to the individual to feel himself / herself in constant psychological pressure. Because, in general, it has been found that individuals who feel confined to their current job and have difficulty in finding new jobs, have lower levels of well-being (Stengard et al, 2016).…”

“…There are studies claim that perceived employability is an effect on employee well-being (De Cuyper et al, 2008;Stengard et al, 2016;Lu, Sun ve Du 2016). The effect of the employee well-being on the intention to leave the job has also been revealed through various studies (Schultz et al, 2015: Stetz, Castro andBliese, 2007;Fisher and Hanna, 1931).…”

Öznel iyi olma hali Algılanan istihdam edilebilirlik İşten ayrılma niyeti Konaklama işletmeleri Öz Personel seçiminde son derece titiz davranan ve beşerî sermayeye önem veren işletmelerin sayısındaki artış, işgörenlerin istihdam edilebilirlik algılarının araştırılmasını gerekli hale getirmiştir. Bu noktada bireyin istihdam edilebilirlik algı düzeyinin öznel iyi olma haline etkisi de büyük önem arz etmektedir. Çünkü işsiz kalma korkusu, kişinin hayatı üzerindeki kontrol gücünü kaybetme kaygısını beraberinde getirebilmektedir. Bireyin öznel iyi olma halinin mevcut işletmesinden ayrılma niyetine etkisi ise hem çalışan hem de işletmeler açısından üzerinde durulması gereken bir konudur. Bu doğrultuda Antalya İli'nde faaliyet göstermekte olan beş yıldızlı konaklama işletmesi çalışanlarına yönelik kapsamlı bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda algılanan istihdam edilebilirliğin öznel iyi olma halinin alt boyutlarından olumsuz duyguyu negatif, olumlu duyguyu pozitif, yaşam doyumunu ise pozitif yönde etkilediği gözlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte öznel iyi olma halinin alt boyutlarından olumsuz duygunun işten ayrılma niyetine pozitif, olumlu duygunun pozitif, yaşam doyumunun ise yine pozitif yönde etki ettiği tespit edilmiştir.
