工作壓力是勞工在工作環境上遭受壓迫或挑戰，因而產生對勞工生理或心理健康狀態的影響，進而可能減少生產力或增加曠職或離職的比率。根據文獻指出，每週至少1~2 次，每次1~2 小時緩和的戶外休閒性身體活動可有效的減緩工作壓力，而職場若可提供員工增進身體活動的環境與機會，亦可減輕工作壓力的負面影響。本文以職場健康促進 (workplace health promotion) 角度探討身體活動改善工作壓力(work stress) 策略，文末並整理相關建議，希望能做為企業體及勞工朋友未來規劃工作壓力管理之參考。

Work stress is defined as anything that poses a challenge at work. Work stress may firstly influence physical and mental health, and eventually reduce productivity and thereby increase absenteeism and turnover rate of the employees. According to reviews from the literature, implementing 1-to-2 hours each time for 1-to-2 times per week of mild leisure-time physical activity may help to effectively cope with work stress. In the meantime, provision of better environment and opportunities for physical activities at the workplace could also alleviate the negative effects. In perspectives of workplace health promotion, strategic recommendations were proposed at the end for the employer and employee’s reference in managing stress at work.
