“…This could therefore possibly explain the differences. In English, respondents could refer to the ability to learn new things, but this translation does not seem to match the ability to have a calm head [14]. In our study, we translated the item from the Japanese version.…”

“…This is crucial for maintaining the usefulness of the instrument and the validity of the results obtained. A very recent study confirmed a three-factor structure of the Ikigai-9 in France [14], whereas two other studies (UK [13] and Turkey [15]) favored a 1-factor solution (e.g., confirmatory factor analysis of the three-factor solution in UK: RMSEA = 0.14, CFI = 0.91, TLI = 0.87 [13])).…”

Background: The Japanese concept of “ikigai” embodies the feeling of having a meaningful purpose in life. It is associated with several positive outcomes. This study aimed to translate and validate the German version of the Ikigai-9 scale (Ikigai-9-G)—and ikigai scores for certain groups of interest were presented. Methods: Data were taken from a quota sample of the German adult population aged 18 to 74 years (n = 5000; representative in terms of age, sex, and state). Data were collected in August/September 2023. The translation process was conducted in accordance with the existing guidelines. Reliability (Cronbach’s alpha; McDonald’s omega) was assessed. Moreover, we evaluated the structure’s soundness using confirmatory factor analysis for construct validity and examined concurrent validity by exploring pairwise correlations between the Ikigai-9-G with life satisfaction, happiness, health-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, we presented ikigai scores for specific sociodemographic groups of interest. Results: Cronbach’s alpha for the Ikigai-9-G equaled 0.88. The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the original three-factor model as initially proposed. A higher sense of ikigai was associated with less depressive symptoms (r = −0.43, p < 0.001), less anxiety symptoms (r = −0.39, p < 0.001), higher health-related quality of life (r = 0.42, p < 0.001), higher happiness levels (r = 0.62, p < 0.001), and higher satisfaction with life levels (r = 0.57, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Ikigai-9 scale is a psychometrically sound tool offering the possibility for assessing ikigai among German speakers. Additional translation and validation studies are required to facilitate comparisons across different countries.

“…A large part of these studies was conducted in Japan ( Fukuzawa et al, 2019 ; Iida & Oguma, 2013 ; Kono et al, 2019 ; Shirai et al, 2006 ; Sone et al, 2008 ; Tanno et al, 2009 ), others in Indonesia ( Hikmawan et al, 2019 ). In Europe, Ikigai-9 scale ( Imai, 2012 ) was translated into English and French ( Fido et al, 2020 ; Vandroux & Auzoult-Chagnault, in press ) but did not give rise to intercultural studies to date. Some studies published only in Japanese ( Kumano, 2003 , 2006 ) support the cultural specificity of the concept ( Nakanishi, 1999 ), which may question the portability of this life philosophy to other cultures.…”

In the Japanese philosophy of life, ‘ikigai’ broadly refers to having a ‘reason for living’, or a purpose in life. From a phenomenological and empirical viewpoint, ikigai is reported to increase human well-being and even life expectancy. However, it remains difficult to translate, define and formalize with regard to contemporary psychological theories. In this respect, the aim of this paper is twofold: to capture as accurately as possible what ikigai is, and to examine whether the concept applies to a professional context. We first offer a comprehensive overview of ikigai, bridge the gap between this specific body of literature and related psychological theoretical frameworks, such as those addressing motivation, well-being, and attention. On this basis, we conceptualize an integrated cognitive-motivational model of ikigai using an IPO (Input-Process-Output) framework: we organize dispositional or situational factors supposedly supporting ikigai as inputs, fueling the core process of ikigai (mainly built from motivational and attentional mechanisms), which produce outcomes (including well-being). A feedback loop completes the model and allows the process to maintain over time. This conceptual proposal is a first step towards applying and testing the model in professional contexts, in order to renew our approach of engagement, well-being, and performance at work as well as inspire workplace evolution.
