This study aims to investigate the difference of job stress between male and female dental hygienists working in the industry of dental clinics, and explore measures to effectively manage increasing job stress of male dental hygienists in Korea and lower their turnover rate. The research selected 229 male and female dental hygienists who have dental hygienist license, work at dental clinics or dental hospitals in Korea, and are registered in Korean Dental Hygienists Association as a population. 110 male dental hygienists were surveyed by complete enumeration, while female dental hygienists were selected by convenient sampling. Data were collected from Jun 10 to Jul 7, 2017. Survey sheets were distributed via email, and a total of 229 out of retrieved questionnaires were finally analyzed. 1. Descriptive analysis of main factors according to general characteristics of male dental hygienists showed that the average score of turnover intention, job satisfaction and job stress were 3.47, 2.94 and 2.93, respectively, out of 5. Meanwhile, their counterparts’ average score of turnover intention, job satisfaction and job stress were 3.39, 3.05 and 2.96. 2. Independent variables affecting male dental hygienists’ turnover intention were workplace (p<0.05) and affiliated department (p<0.05). As for job satisfaction, the higher the job satisfaction, the lower the turnover intention (p<0.01). 3. Independent variables affecting female dental hygienists’ turnover intention were position at the hospital (p<0.05) and number of employees (p<0.01). As job stress gets higher, so does turnover intention (p<0.01). 4. Multiple regression analysis for exploring the effects on dental hygienists’ turnover intention revealed that as job stress increases, so does turnover intention (p<0.001), and the higher the job satisfaction, the lower the turnover intention (p<0.001). The study revealed that male dental hygienists had higher turnover intention and lower job satisfaction compared to female dental hygienists. This indicates that male dental hygienists may lower job efficiency and have difficulty in adapting to the dental hygienist group as the minority. Thus, it is necessary to standardize tasks considering the characteristics of men and women and establish stress management strategy. Moreover, relevant organizations need to perform studies continuously for male dental hygienists to help increase job satisfaction and lower turnover intention in the future.

Background: Job satisfaction of dental hygienists has been discussed continuously in dental hygiene research. It has been the most representative performance variable in dental and human resource management. However, in quantitative research, most of the studies have analyzed the causal relationship with variables related to dental hygienists’ job satisfaction. The existing qualitative research contains only the studies that targeted dental hygienists with an experience of more than 10 years. The present study aimed to understand and to characterize the job satisfaction of dental hygienists with an experience of 2 to 10 years and to compare it with the qualitative research on dental hygienists with an experience of 10 or more years. Methods: An in-depth interview of dental hygienists with 2 to 10 years of experience working in 10 dental clinics was conducted. For data analysis, Giorgi’s analysis method was used. Results: After analyzing the meaning of job satisfaction of dental hygienists, 180 semantic words and 19 subcategories were derived. The results of the interview were categorized into for central meanings: recognition and rewards, work experience and ability improvement, occupational characteristics, and work characteristics. Recognition and rewards included workplace recognition, patient recognition, self-effort and recognition, and the feeling of being rewarded. Work experience and ability improvement included various work experiences and factors relates to improving the work ability. Occupational characteristics included professional job, interest and persistence, job extensibility, and no burden of employment. Work characteristics included working conditions and separation of work and private life. Conclusion: The development of tools to measure the level of dental hygienists’ job satisfaction after long-term service and to conduct follow-up research regarding ways and effects to improve job satisfaction is needed.
