Abstract

This study attempted to identify factors work environment that affect job satisfaction in dental hygienists. This study was conducted between August 29 and September 28, 2017, as part of an in-depth study of the 'Survey on the Working Environment of Clinical Dental Hygienists' of the Korean Dental Hygienists Association. To get the responses, the questionnaire was posted on the website of the Korean Dental Hygienists Association, and of the respondents, 4,663 were selected and analyzed. An independent t-test and one way ANOVA analysis were used to make a comparison of job satisfaction according to the general characteristics, salary, and tasks. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors affecting job satisfaction. The significance level was 0.05. In regard to salary information, the job satisfaction was found to be high (p<0.001) in cases where the salary was considered appropriate, when incentives were provided, when rewards or vacation expenses were supported, and when overtime and nightly work allowances were paid. In regard to job information, the job satisfaction was found to be high (p<0.001) when the volume of work was considered appropriate, when there were sufficient numbers in the workforce, and when the division of labor among the other personnel was clear. As a factor affecting job satisfaction of dental hygienists, the case of thinking that 'workload is appropriate' was found to be 2.052 times, showing the highest score. Job satisfaction in dental hygienists affects the turnover and has a significant effect on the performance of the organization. Therefore, it is believed, that it is urgent to improve the working environment such as salary and clear division of duties affecting job satisfaction of dental hygienists.

본 연구에서는 치과위생사의 근무환경에 따른 직무만족도를 알아보기 위해 전국의 치과의원에 근무하는 4,663명의 치과위생사를 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 일반적 특성에 따른 직무만족도에서는 연령이 높을수록, 기혼인 경우, 최종학력이 높을수록, 경력이 많을수록 직무만족도가 높았다. 급여에 따른 직무만족도에서는 급여가 적절하다고 생각하는 경우, 연간 급여 인상정도가 높을수록 만족도가 높았다. 또한, 인센티브가 제공되는 경우, 포상, 휴가비 등의 지원이 되는 경우, 초과근무수당과 야간근무수당이 지급되는 경우 직무만족도가 높았다. 업무에 따른 직무만족도에서는 주당 평균 근무 시간이 적을수록 만족도가 높았고, 업무량이 적절한 경우, 충분한 인력이 구성된 경우, 타 인력 간 명확하게 업무가 구분된 경우 직무 만족도가 높았다. 직무만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 기혼인 경우 미혼에 비해 만족도가 높았으며 경력이 높을수록, 급여가 적절하다고 생각하는 경우, 포상 또는 휴가비가 지원되는 경우, 초과근무수당과 야간근무수당이 있는 경우, 업무량이 적절한 경우, 충분한 인력의 구성 여부, 타 인력간의 명확한 업무 구분이 된 경우 만족도가 높았다. 이상의 결과로 치과위생사의 직무만족은 이직에 영향을 미치며 해당조직의 성과에도 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 치과위생사의 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 급여와 명확한 업무의 구분 등 근무환경의 개선이 필요하다 생각된다.
