| الملخص: | Mental health disorders resulting from work stressors are increasing in the Mexican
manufacturing industry and worldwide. Managerial positions in these contexts are highly stressful,
and although physical activity may reduce the negative e ects of work stress, the relationships
between these two aspects regarding their e ects on the body mass index (BMI) of obese managers are
scarcely studied. This article aims to study such relationships by using the Job Content Questionnaire
(JCQ) dimensions with the Baecke’s physical activity questionnaire dimensions and analyzing their
e ects on the BMI.Asample of 255 managers from the Mexican industry, with a (BMI > 30) participated
by answering the surveys and providing their weight, their height, and certain sociodemographic
information. The research hypotheses were tested using WarpPLS® 6.0 for structural equation
modeling. The results for three models featuring acceptable reliability to estimate the direct, indirect,
and total e ects are presented. The first model showed a medium explanatory power, the variable of
job decision-making authority having the greatest direct e ect on BMI. The second model showed a
medium explanatory power, and the variable of physical activity during leisure-time observed the
unique direct e ect on BMI. Finally, although the integrating model showed a small explanatory
power, both work stress and the physical activity exerted observed direct e ects on BMI reduction. |
