Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of service education to the emotional labor of dental hygienists and influential factors for their job burnout. The subjects in this study were 155 dental hygienists, on whom a survey was conducted. The findings of the study were as follows: The respondents who ever received service education and were satisfied with that education were better at emotional regulation. After job burnout was classified into physical symptoms and psychological symptoms, a multiple regression analysis was carried out to explore what variables would affect the two subfactors. And it's found that psychological symptoms were positively affected by emotional dissonance. The above-mentioned findings illustrated that service education had something to do with the emotional labor of the dental hygienists, and that the emotional labor of the dental hygienists had an impact on their job burnout.

서비스 교육과 감정노동이 치과위생사의 직무소진에 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 서울, 경기지역에 치과위생사 155명을 대상으로 설문조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 서비스 교육경험이 있는 경우가 66.5%였으며 교육내용으로는 서비스 마인드가 23.5%로 가장 많았으며 인사말 교육 및 실습이 20.7%, 전화응대기술이 17.4%, 표정관리가 16.2% 등의 순으로 나타났다. 58.3%의 응답자가 서비스 교육에 만족하고 있었다. 2. 서비스 교육에 따른 감정노동의 차이는 서비스 교육경험이 있고, 서비스 교육에 만족하는 경우 감정조절을 더 하는 것으로 나타났다.3. 직무소진의 하위요인인 신체적 증상과 심리적 증상을 종속변수로 하여 다중회귀분석을 시행한 결과 심리적 증상에서 감정 부조화가 영향을 미치는 변수로서 감정 부조화를 경험할수록 심리적 소진이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 감정노동은 직무소진에 영향을 미치는 요인이라고 할 수 있으며 개인의 감정노동을 관리하기 위한 조직적 차원의 관리가 필요하다고 생각한다.
