The current study examined the links between decent work and three components of physical health (general health, health symptoms, health behaviors) with a sample of 569 employed adults. Data were gathered at three time points over a two-month period. Drawing from Psychology of Working Theory (PWT), survival need fulfillment and workplace fatigue (Wave 2) were positioned as mediating variables between decent work (Wave 1) and physical health outcomes (Wave 3). Hypotheses were partially supported. Decent work directly, and indirectly via workplace fatigue, predicted overall physical health; decent work predicted health symptoms indirectly via workplace fatigue; and decent work predicted heath behaviors indirectly via survival need fulfillment. Findings offer a more nuanced picture of how decent work connects to physical health. Specifically, for overall health and health symptoms, workplace fatigue appears to be the main connecting variable. Individuals working in jobs considered decent may be less likely to suffer workplace fatigue, and in turn, more generally healthy with less negative health symptoms. For healthy habits, such as diet and exercise, survival need satisfaction appears more salient. Meeting one's survival needs via work may help an individual have the time, and live in the type of environment, that more allows for access to a healthy lifestyle. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

当前的研究以569名就业成年人为样本，研究了体面工作与身体健康的三个组成部分（总体健康，健康症状，健康行为）之间的联系。在两个月的三个时间点收集了数据。根据工作理论心理学（PWT），生存需要的满足和工作场所的疲劳（第二次）被定位为体面工作（第一次）和身体健康结果（第三次）之间的中介变量。假设得到部分支持。直接和间接地通过工作场所的疲劳进行体面工作可以预测总体身体健康；体面的工作通过工作场所的疲劳间接预测健康症状；体面的工作通过生存需要来间接预测健康行为。调查结果提供了关于体面劳动如何与身体健康联系的更细致入微的描述。具体来说，对于整体健康和健康症状，工作场所疲劳似乎是主要的连接变量。在被认为体面的工作中工作的人可能不太可能遭受工作场所的疲劳，从而更健康，负面健康症状也更少。对于饮食和运动等健康习惯，生存需要的满足显得更为突出。通过工作满足一个人的生存需求可能会帮助一个人有时间，并在这样的环境中生活，这更多地允许他们获得健康的生活方式。讨论了对研究和实践的意义。对于饮食和运动等健康习惯，生存需要的满足显得更为突出。通过工作满足一个人的生存需求可能会帮助一个人有时间，并在这样的环境中生活，这更多地允许他们获得健康的生活方式。讨论了对研究和实践的意义。对于饮食和运动等健康习惯，生存需要的满足显得更为突出。通过工作满足一个人的生存需求可能会帮助一个人有时间，并在这样的环境中生活，这更多地允许他们获得健康的生活方式。讨论了对研究和实践的意义。
