Abstract Objectives Workplace gratitude is important for improving work‐related outcomes and individual well‐being. Although the gratitude at work scale (GAWS) was developed in the United States, it has not been corroborated in Asian countries with interdependent cultures. This study aimed to develop and validate the GAWS among Japanese workers. Method Japanese workers completed online surveys at baseline (N = 206) and 2 weeks later (N = 103). The Japanese GAWS was developed according to the international guidelines. We measured (a) trait gratitude as comparison for the criterion‐related validity, (b) work‐related outcomes/factors (eg, work engagement), and (c) well‐being (eg, eudemonic well‐being at work) as comparisons for convergent validity. Cronbach's alpha, intra‐class correlation coefficients (ICCs), and measurement errors were calculated to assess reliability; measurement validity was evaluated by correlational analyses and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results A total of 206 and 93 workers were included for baseline and follow‐up analyses, respectively. Cronbach's alpha and ICCs of the Japanese GAWS ranged from 0.81 to 0.91. CFA showed that the 2‐factor model (ie, gratitude for (a) a supportive work environment and (b) meaningful work) demonstrated a good fit (χ2 (34) = 67.58, CFI = 0.967, TLI = 0.956, RMSEA = 0.069, SRMR = 0.037), similar to the original version. As we had hypothesized, overall GAWS and the two domains were significantly correlated with trait gratitude, work‐related outcomes/factors, and well‐being. Conclusions The Japanese GAWS demonstrated good reliability and validity. Future research should explore mechanisms related to workplace gratitude and further intervention studies among workers.

日文版感恩工作量表（GAWS）的信度和效度

摘要 目标工作场所的感恩对于改善与工作相关的结果和个人幸福感很重要。尽管工作感恩量表（GAWS）是在美国发展起来的，但在文化相互依存的亚洲国家并没有得到证实。本研究旨在开发和验证日本工人的 GAWS。方法 日本工人在基线 (N = 206) 和 2 周后 (N = 103) 完成在线调查。日本 GAWS 是根据国际准则制定的。我们测量了（a）特质感恩作为标准相关有效性的比较，（b）与工作相关的结果/因素（例如，工作投入）和（c）幸福感（例如，工作中的幸福感）收敛效度的比较。Cronbach's alpha, 类内相关系数 (ICCs), 并计算测量误差以评估可靠性；通过相关分析和验证性因素分析 (CFA) 评估测量有效性。结果 共有 206 名和 93 名工人分别被纳入基线和随访分析。日本 GAWS 的 Cronbach's alpha 和 ICC 介于 0.81 到 0.91 之间。CFA 表明，2 因素模型（即感谢 (a) 支持性工作环境和 (b) 有意义的工作）表现出良好的拟合（χ2 (34) = 67.58，CFI = 0.967，TLI = 0.956，RMSEA = 0.069 , SRMR = 0.037)，与原始版本相似。正如我们假设的那样，总体 GAWS 和这两个领域与特质感恩、与工作相关的结果/因素和幸福感显着相关。结论 日本 GAWS 表现出良好的信度和效度。
