The significance of staff engagement in organisational performance lies in the enhanced efficiency and job satisfaction experienced by engaged individuals. Sports activities have been acknowledged as effective methods for enhancing employee involvement in the workplace. These endeavours not only enhance athletic motivation but also foster a sense of teamwork, leading to a more cohesive work environment. In addition, these programmes aid in promoting the physical well-being of employees by offering stress management techniques that have the potential to enhance overall health and performance. Hence, the objective of this research is to examine the impact of athletic activities on staff engagement, specifically focusing on sports motivation and engagement, team collaboration, and the physical fitness of employees as mechanisms for managing stress. The data has been gathered from the workforce in Saudi Arabia. The researcher employed an online survey methodology. The findings of the study indicate a significant and positive correlation between sports motivation and increased staff engagement. This correlation is accompanied by notable improvements in athletic motivation and team cooperation, which serve as effective strategies for enhancing job engagement. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of sports activities in promoting employee engagement is contingent upon factors such as the industry, organisational culture, and demographic composition. The limited consideration of contextual aspects in previous research has resulted in a constraint on the generalizability of findings to various organisations.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
