Abstract: This study delves into the impact of workplace exercise on employee innovative behavior within the context of high-tech enterprises in Singapore. Drawing extensively on embodied cognition theory, it meticulously examines the mediating roles of vitality and creativity in this intricate relationship. Employing a rigorous questionnaire survey method, the study successfully collected data from 443 employees across 16 high-tech companies. The results unequivocally demonstrate that workplace exercise exerts a positive influence on employee innovative behavior, with vitality and creativity functioning as significant partial mediators in this process. Furthermore, the study reveals that workplace health promotion positively moderates the mediating effects of vitality and creativity. This research makes a substantial contribution to the existing literature by providing robust empirical evidence for the beneficial impact of workplace exercise on employee innovation and emphasizing the crucial role of vitality and creativity in this dynamic interplay. The findings underscore the importance for high-tech enterprises in Singapore to actively implement comprehensive workplace health promotion plans, thereby encouraging employee participation in exercise and consequently enhancing their vitality, creativity, and innovative behavior.
