Abstract
Background and aim: Sports and physical readiness and their impact on jobs and job performance are among the topics that have occupied a significant part of the expert's attention. The research has been done in a private company to study the effect of exercise and physical readiness on job performance in an engineering community.
Methods: The population of the study included all employees of Salmanian Fars Company, from which 50 individuals were selected. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups of exercise (n=25) and control (n=25). The first group did the exercises in a two-month scheduled program, and the second didn't do these exercises. At the beginning and end of the program, Paterson's job performance questionnaire was filled out by both groups. Data were analyzed using t-test and SPSS 16 software.
Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference between the mean of job performance in the pre-test and post-test of the control group (P=0.11), while there was a significant difference between the mean job performance in the pre-test and post-test groups of the training group (P=0.001). There was a significant difference in the increase in job performance between the exercise and control groups (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Overall, the results indicate positive effects of physical readiness and exercise on job performance in the workplace.
