Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to serve as basic data for improving human resource management and the quality of work at dental hospitals and clinics by examining the relationship among clinical dental hygienists' emotional labor, job stress, and turnover intention. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 220 dental hygienists in hospitals and clinics from March 11 to April 26, 2019. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0. For participants' burnout, job stress, emotional labor, and turnover intention based on general and occupational characteristics were analyzed using a t-test and one-way ANOVA. After performing a one-way ANOVA, a Duncan test was performed for mean comparison. Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to determine correlations between variables, and stepwise multiple regression was performed to examine the factors that affect burnout. Results: Clinical dental hygienists' mean burnout was 3.05 points, and the factors that affect such burnout were turnover intention, job stress, and emotional labor. Burnout was higher when job satisfaction was low, turnover intention was low, and emotional labor was high, with a 29.3% explanatory power. Conclusions: For effective human resource management of dental hygienists, it is necessary to develop and implement programs that can reduce emotional labor and burnout.
