Concentration with Fitness Leads to More Work Productivity

Abstract

Background
Work productivity is important for a company to maximise company performance. Work productivity
can be affected by concentration and physical fitness. Concentration is the ability to focus attention
on work. Meanwhile, physical fitness is the ability of the body to perform activities without
exhaustion. This study was conducted to determine the value of the relationship between
concentration, fitness and employees' work productivity.

Methods
This study used a cross-sectional design. The subjects were employees of Cooperative Service
Bandung, and the subject selection used non-probability sampling. Army Alpha Test measured
concentration. A non-exercise fitness test assessed the level of physical fitness. Work productivity
was assessed using a work productivity questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS
version 20 with univariate analysis and bivariate Chi-square test. A total of 130 respondents
participated in this study.

Results
The Chi-square test results showed a significant relationship between concentration level and work
productivity (p=0.001) and a relationship between the level of fitness and work productivity
(p=0.031).

Conclusions
Thus concentration and physical fitness lead to work productivity.
