Abstract
The purpose of this study was to validate the effect that the job stress of the newly appointed dental hygienists would have on the organization effectiveness. In this study, 214 newly appointed dental hygienists in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, were surveyed from September to October, 2013 through the structured questionnaires, and the collected data were electro-statistically computerized under SPSS 17.0 program and analyzed based on the frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of analysis showed that the dental hygienists with less than 3-year experience had the lower role conflict compared to other groups in relation to the job stress factors based on the clinical experience, and there was a significant difference. A negative(-) relation was found among the job stress, organization commitment, and job satisfaction, while a positive(+) relationship with the turnover intention was found. Moreover, it turned out that the job stress of newly appointed dental hygienists had a significant effect on the organization effectiveness. Thus, it is considered necessary to explore the specific measures that can help reduce the turnover rate of newly appointed dental hygienists and improve their adaptation to the organization in a more effective manner.
본 연구는 초임 치과위생사의 직무스트레스가 조직유효성에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 실시하였다. 2013년 9월부터 10월까지 대구 경북 초임 치과위생사 214명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하였고, 수집된 자료는 빈도분석, 상관관계분석, 다중회귀분석으로 SPSS 17.0 프로그램을 이용하여 자료분석을 실시하였다. 결과는 임상경력에 따라 직무스트레스 요인 중 역할갈등에는 3년 미만의 군이 다른 군보다 낮았으며 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 직무스트레스와 조직몰입, 직무만족에서는 부적(-)관계, 이직의도와는 정적(+)상관관계를 나타냈고 초임 치과위생사의 직무스트레스가 조직유효성에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 초임 치과위생사의 이직률을 최소화하고, 보다 효과적인 치과위생사의 조직 적응력을 높이기 위한 구체적인 방안을 강구할 필요가 있다고 생각한다.
