Abstract
Objective: To examine the role of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SED) for work engagement.
Methods: We used data from Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study (n = 3046 to 4356) to analyze self-reported weekly leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), daily leisure-time sitting time (LTST) and work engagement. PA and SED 24-hour were also measured with accelerometer for 14 days. The data were analyzed using linear regression analyses.
Results: High self-reported LTPA and sports participation were associated with higher work engagement and its subdimensions. High self-reported ST was associated with lower work engagement, vigor, and absorption. Accelerometer-measured light PA was associated with higher work engagement and vigor, and accelerometer-measured steps were linked to higher vigor. Accelerometer-measured SED was associated with lower work engagement, vigor, and dedication.
Conclusions: Self-reported and accelerometer-measured PA and SED may play a role in people’s work engagement.
