Using survey data by the Seoul Metropolitan Government for 5 years (n = 228,103 individuals), this study analyzes the magnitudes of the impacts of major grouping variables on variations in the overall happiness through partial least squares regression analysis. This study then uses the importance–satisfaction analysis to explore how the between‐group variations can be reduced according to the current satisfaction as well as the ultimate importance of the five happiness components (health, finance, relationships with close relatives/friends, home life, and social life). The regression finds that self‐respect‐as‐a‐Seoul‐citizen, social class recognition, years (other than 2014), household income, and not being elderly have a positive difference in happiness. The importance of the social class recognition over the objective income suggests the validity of soft policies for increasing happiness as a subjective concept. The low happiness level in 2014 may reflect history effects or events that occurred in that year. The importance–satisfaction analysis presents customized strategies by group. Specifically, policies oriented to financial happiness are prioritized for groups with low values on self‐respect, class recognition, household income, and age while health‐ and home life‐related policies should be additionally arranged for the older population.

对幸福感的战略驱动因素的偏最小二乘回归和重要性-满意度分析：韩国首尔的生活质量调查

使用首尔市政府5年的调查数据（n = 228,103个人），这项研究通过偏最小二乘回归分析分析了主要分组变量对整体幸福感变化的影响的大小。然后，本研究使用重要性满意度分析来探索如何根据当前的满意度以及五个幸福因素（健康，财务，与近亲/朋友的关系，家庭生活）的最终重要性来减少群体间的差异。 ，以及社交生活）。回归发现，首尔市民的自尊心，社会阶层的认可度，年限（2014年除外），家庭收入以及未老年人的幸福感有积极的差异。社会阶层对目标收入的认识的重要性表明，软性政策对于增加幸福作为主观观念是有效的。2014年的低幸福水平可能反映了当年的历史影响或事件。重要性-满意度分析按组提出了定制的策略。具体而言，针对自尊，阶级认同，家庭收入和年龄等价值观较低的人群优先考虑针对财务幸福的政策，同时应为老年人群安排与健康和家庭生活有关的政策。
