Abstract
This study aims at examining the effects of the Physical Education Health-
Related Programme for Employees (PEHPE) on exercise behaviour and quality of
work life among employees in Mobarakeh Steel Company, Iran. The survey method
was used at the first stage while quasi-experimental research was used at the second
stage of this study. The questionnaire of Sports Needs Assessment in terms of Interest
(SNAI) with the high reliability coefficient of .977 alpha was used for data collection
among the randomly selected sample of 376 employees from the population of 15000
male employees in Mobarakeh Steel Company. For the second stage of this study, pilot
study indicated that the questionnaire of Quality of Work Life (QWL) was used with
the proper reliability Cronbach's Alpha of .882, whereas the questionnaire of Exercise
Behaviour (EB) dimensions were seen with more than .80 alpha coefficient. The
samples were divided into experimental and control groups where each group included
63 employees for three times as pre-test, post-test 1 and post-test 2 that were interested
to participate in the programme. It was revealed that the proper reliability coefficient
of the PEHPE programme was .89 alpha. Finally, the findings indicated that after three
stages through Delphi technique, nine finalised components with 69 items were used
to construct the final PEHPE programme. In this study, descriptive statistics mean
score of test rakings of sports activities, MANCOVA, Multivariate Analysis of
Covariance with repeated measures were performed. The analysis revealed that
different types of PEHPE programme had different effects on the change of subscales
from post-test 1 to post-test 2 after the effect of pre-test was controlled. In other words,
