To provide the first investigation of individual health behaviors and measures of work performance in New Zealand.
Health risk assessments were completed by 747 adults aged 18 to 65 years. Associations between measures of productivity and health risk factors were assessed using multiple stepwise regression.
Participants with low to moderate psychological distress levels and who were physically active reported a work performance 6.5% (P < 0.001) and 3.5% (P < 0.001) higher, respectively. Furthermore, high psychological distress and smoking accounted for 16.8 (P < 0.001) and 11.6 (P = 0.038) additional absentee hours over the previous 4 weeks.
The impact that psychological distress, physical inactivity, and smoking have on productivity suggests that employers may benefit from contributing to health promotion within the workplace.
对新西兰成年人的个体健康行为和工作绩效衡量标准进行首次调查。
对 747 名 18 至 65 岁成年人进行健康风险评估。采用多元逐步回归分析评估生产力衡量标准与健康风险因素之间的相关性。
低至中度心理困扰水平且积极运动的参与者，其工作绩效分别高出 6.5%（P<0.001）和 3.5%（P<0.001）。此外，高心理困扰和吸烟在过去 4 周内分别导致缺勤 16.8（P<0.001）和 11.6（P=0.038）小时。
心理困扰、身体活动不足和吸烟对生产力的影响表明，雇主可能会受益于在工作场所促进健康。
