| Popis: | Occupational sedentary behavior (SB) is an occupational risk and an independent predictor of poor health and mortality. The impact of implemented interventions in workplaces for reducing SB has been studied several times, and their outcomes have been investigated. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that can increase the effectiveness of the interventions in workplaces. Methodology: The search was conducted in Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and other resources for articles published in scientific journals from 2010 until 2019 in English, using a set of keywords as “sedentary behavior”, “physical activity”, ”effectiveness” “occupational” and ” intervention”. Results and discussion: The review included ten studies that examined the effectiveness of interventions on physical activity (PA) and/or SBs and searched about factors that have an impact on failure or success of interventions. Various factors were identified like individual, organizational, and social factors associated with the SB and PA. Supportive workplace policies, time for involvement in intervention, paying for activity, environment, and job type requirements were the main organizational factors. Also, Interpersonal and educational factors, and some sociodemographic factors associated with the PA. Furthermore, social factors have a significant effect on willingness to do PA in workers. Conclusion: Current evidence shows that some organizational, individual, environmental, and social factors influence work PA; therefore, before choosing the intervention, they need to be considered in each population individually. |
