Guided by Self-Determination Theory, this study aimed to examine the potential mediating effects of autonomous and controlled motivations on physical activity (PA) experiences of afterschool program (ASP) staff with occupational stress.
A total of 58 ASP staff provided full data. Staff occupational stress and self-determination motivations for PA were assessed. Participants' daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was measured using accelerometer wear. A path analysis was used to address the research purpose.
Occupational stress negatively and indirectly predicted daily MVPA which was mediated by controlled motivation (β = - 4.15, p <.05). Autonomous motivation directly and positively predicted daily MVPA across all types and levels of ASP staff occupational stress (β = 9.93, p =.01).
Autonomous motivation is a powerful predictor of staff PA levels despite the degree to which they experience stress. In contrast, controlled motivations are more vulnerable to occupational stress, and can lead to lower MVPA.

本研究旨在以自我决定理论为指导，探讨职业压力对课后活动（ASP）工作人员体育活动（PA）体验的自主和受控动机的潜在中介作用。
共有 58 名 ASP 工作人员提供了完整的数据。评估了工作人员的职业压力和 PA 的自我决定动机。使用加速度计佩戴来测量参与者的日常中等到剧烈体力活动（MVPA）。采用路径分析来解决研究目的。
职业压力对日常 MVPA 具有负向间接影响，这是由受控动机介导的（β=-4.15，p<.05）。自主动机直接且积极地预测了所有类型和水平的 ASP 工作人员职业压力下的日常 MVPA（β=9.93，p=.01）。
尽管工作人员经历的压力程度不同，但自主动机是预测其 PA 水平的有力因素。相比之下，受控动机对职业压力更敏感，并且可能导致较低的 MVPA。
