Despite a wealth of research highlighting the numerous benefits of physical activity in enhancing employees' overall well-being, there remains a need for a more comprehensive understanding of how different forms of physical activity specifically leisure physical activity (LPA) and occupational physical activity (OPA), impact crucial workplace outcomes such as organizational commitment (OC). Drawing upon Ethics Position Theory, we propose that LPA and OPA influence employees' OC through distinct mechanisms, namely relativism and idealism, respectively. Moreover, we argue that the context of an employee's job evaluation plays a significant role in determining the most effective approach to enhance organizational commitment. Specifically, we contend that implementing LPA programs for junior-level employees, who are engaged in formal and well-structured job activities, can reinforce employee OC by generating idealism, given that organizations establish a group of junior-level employees who primarily evaluate their jobs deontologically. Conversely, for senior-level employees who possess greater autonomy in making strategic decisions for the organization, introducing OPA programs may also lead to reinforcing OC through the mediation of relativism, provided organizations form a group of senior-level employees who predominantly evaluate their jobs teleologically. Our study significantly contributes to the existing literature by deepening the understanding of factors and processes that positively influence employees' organizational commitment. It identifies employee physical activity as a major predictor of organizational commitment, elucidates the explanatory mechanism of ethical position in this relationship, and highlights employees' job evaluation as a crucial boundary condition that shapes the relationship between physical activity and organizational commitment.
