Lack of motivation
The second identified barrier to using technology-based physical activity interventions at work was a lack of motivation, as reported by the participants. They expressed that they often lacked the drive to engage in physical activity using technology-based interventions while at work. Quotations from Participant 7 further illustrate this theme, as they stated, “I just don’t feel motivated to use the fitness app at work” and “I’m usually too tired or stressed to think about physical activity during the workday.“ These quotes highlight how a lack of motivation can act as a deterrent to adopting technology-based physical activity interventions in the workplace, as participants may not feel inclined to use these interventions due to a lack of interest or energy.
