As for the leave system, the dental hygienists who worked in general hospitals (p=0.011) and sited in Chungcheongnam-do ($p{\leq}0.001$) replied more leaves were provided. In terms of welfare benefits, there were significant differences in those regards according to the type of hospital (p=0.029) and service area ($p{\leq}0.001$). As to the reward system, their responses about this system were similar to their responses about education & training, leaves and welfare benefits. The motivating factors consisted of 6 motivation factors and 10 hygiene factors. The motivation factors included an opportunities to develop ability and appropriate training to their work. The hygiene factors involved implement of policies and procedures, work environments, relationship with colleagues. Regarding awareness of the motivation factors by general characteristics, there were differences in that aspect according to age (p=0.043), and their awareness of the hygiene factors was different according to service area (p=0.038). As a result of analyzing which factors affected motivating, the leave system (p=0.038) and communication (p=0.001) that belonged to the internal marketing activities were identified as the influential motivation factors. In terms of the hygiene factors, age and service area were influential among the general characteristics (p=0.047, p=0.045).

본 연구는 치과위생사 185명을 대상으로 치과 의료기관의 내부마케팅 활동이 치과위생사의 동기부여에 미치는 영향을 알아봄으로써 치과위생사의 생산성 향상을 위한 전략을 구축하는 데 도움이 되고자 실시하였다. 분석은 STATA 11.0을 이용하였으며, 결론은 다음과 같다. 일반적 특성에 따른 내부마케팅 수행도 중 교육훈련 요인에서 대졸 이상이 전문대졸보다 높았다($p{\leq}0.001$). 휴가제도는 근무기관의 형태에 따라 종합병원 치과에서 근무하는 경우가 치과의원에 비해 높았으며(p=0.011), 근무지역에 따라 충남, 인천/경기, 서울 순이었고($p{\leq}0.001$), 현 직장 근무경력 따라 근무연수가 많을수록 휴가의 인지 정도가 높았다(p=0.003). 복리후생은 근무기관의 형태(p=0.029)와 근무지역($p{\leq}0.001$)에 유의미한 차이를 보였으며, 보상제도 또한 교육훈련, 휴가, 복리후생 요인의 인지수준과 유사한 결과를 보였다. 동기부여 요인은 동기요인이 능력발휘 기회, 독창적 업무발휘 기회, 적절한 교육여부, 상급자의 관리 감독 등 6문항, 위생요인이 치과의 주요 정책이나 방침, 근무하는 곳의 작업환경, 동료들과의 관계, 월간 근무시간, 직원에 대한 후생복지제도 등 10문항으로 구성되었다. 일반적 특성에 따른 동기요인과 위생요인의 인지정도는 동기요인이 연령에서 26~30세, 31~35세, 25세 이하, 36세 이상 순이었고(p=0.043). 위생요인은 근무지에 따라 인천/경기, 충남, 서울 순이었다(p=0.038). 동기부여에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아본 결과 동기요인에서 내부마케팅 수행도 중에는 휴가제도(p=0.038) 와 의사소통(p=0.001)이 있었으며, 위생요인에서 일반적인 특성 중 연령과 근무지역에 영향을 받았다(p=0.047, p=0.045). 이상의 결과 치과 의료기관은 조직구성원의 특성에 맞는 내부 마케팅 활동을 시행하고 특히 의사소통을 통해 치과위생사를 동기부여 함으로써 성공적인 치과경영을 유도할 수 있을 것이다.
