The aim of this study is to investigate whether people who exercise regularly have higher levels of psychological well-being at work. Doing physical exercise is a habit that not only has consequences for physical and mental health, but it can also have positive consequences for organizations because physical exercise makes it easier for the employee to recover from physical, mental, and emotional effort during the workday, thus showing higher levels of engagement the next day. Through the analysis of structural equation models in a sample of 485 workers from different Spanish and Latin American companies, this study shows that subjects who exercise more have higher levels of vigor in physical exercise, which is positively related to high levels of well-being at work. This means that organizations that promote activities related to physical exercise among their employees are building a process of resource recovery, which, through the vigor of these activities, makes workers feel less stressed and more satisfied, thus experiencing greater well-being at work. Therefore, at a practical level, these results suggest that the practice of physical exercise is a tool for organizations that want to promote their employees' psychological well-being.
本研究旨在探讨经常锻炼的人在工作中是否具有更高水平的心理健康。进行体育锻炼是一种习惯，不仅对身心健康有影响，而且对组织也有积极的影响，因为体育锻炼使员工在工作日更容易从身体、心理和情绪上的努力中恢复过来，从而在第二天表现出更高的投入度。通过对来自西班牙和拉丁美洲不同公司的 485 名员工样本的结构方程模型分析，本研究表明，锻炼较多的受试者在体育锻炼中具有更高的活力水平，这与工作中的高幸福感呈正相关。这意味着，提倡员工进行体育锻炼相关活动的组织正在建立一个资源恢复的过程，通过这些活动的活力，使员工感到压力更小，更满意，从而在工作中体验到更大的幸福感。因此，在实践层面上，这些结果表明，体育锻炼是希望促进员工心理健康的组织的一种工具。
