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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships among partnership variables and sourcing performance. Partnership variables were included as: contract conditions, information sharing, communication, conflict, job understanding, monitoring, culture understanding, trust and commitment. Sourcing performance included perceived benefits and sourcing satisfaction. The survey research design was employed with the structured questionnaire. A sample of 104 Korean apparel firms' managers participated in this survey. Apparel firms selected for this study were casual, sports, children's wear firms doing actively international sourcing. For the data analysis, descriptive statistics (i.e., frequency, percent), factor analysis, correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used. Information sharing and job understanding were positively related with trust. That is to say, the better information sharing and the better job understanding apparel firms had higher scores of trust than others. Contract conditions, communication, conflict, and culture understanding were known as predictions of commitment to international outsourcing. The more trust firms had with their vendors, the more commitment the firms had in the international sourcing. This result showed that trust is the essential factor of commitment. Trust and commitment were significantly related with outsourcing performance (i.e., perceived benefits, satisfaction of the international sourcing). Partnership information of international sourcing assembled in the review of literature and the results from this empirical study may assist the domestic apparel firms to make better decision in the adoption process of international sourcing.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the levels of psychosocial stress, job stress and their related factors among medical doctors practicing at local clinics. Methods : A survey using a self administered questionnaire was administered to 1,456 doctors practicing at private clinics via post for 2 months (2006. 1 - 2006. 3). Psychosocial stress, job stress, demographic factors, job related factors and health related behaviors were investigated. Among the eligible study population, the respondents were 428 doctors (29.4%). Results : The average scores of psychosocial stress and job stress were 2.19 and 3.13, respectively. The levels of psychosocial stress and job stress were statistically lower in older respondents, those who worked shorter or who were more satisfied with their job, and those with higher socioeconomic status. The level of psychosocial stress was related with smoking status, drinking status and exercise. The level of job stress was related with smoking status and exercise. In multiple linear regression analysis using psychosocial stress as a dependent variable, age, working hours per day, job satisfaction and perception on socioeconomic status were significant independent variables. In analysis using job stress as a dependent variable, age, working hours per day and job satisfaction were significant independent variables. Conclusions : Stress affects the doctor-patient relationship, productivity and overall health level of people. Therefore, it is important to manage and relieve the stress of doctors. It is suggested that more advanced studies on stress level and related factors and ways to improve the stress and health related behaviors of medical doctors should be conducted.

본 연구는 Brown과 Peterson(1993)의 메타 분석에서 자료의 부족으로 실증하지 못했던 리더의 지원 역량을 직무 만족도의 선행 변수로 제안하였고 기존 조직 문헌에서 활발히 연구되었던 조직시민 행동을 직무 만족도와 관련된 인과 관계 모형에서 새로운 결과 변수로 제안하였다. 연구 모델에 대한 분석 결과 6개의 가설중 조직시민행동과 정착의향 관계에 관한 가설을 제외하고 모두 지지되었다. 이러한 실증 결과를 통해서 조직 문헌에서 많이 연구되었던 조직시민행동은 영업사원 직무 만족도의 결과 변수이지만 영업 사원의 정착 의향과는 직접적인 관련성이 없음이 밝혀졌다. 또한 Brown 과 Peterson(1993)의 실증 연구에서 직무 만족도의 선행 요인이었던 역할 모호성처럼 리더의 지원역량 변수도 조직 몰입이나 조직시민행동에 직접적인 영향을 주기 보다 직무 만족도를 통해 간접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 연구 결과 회사가 영업 사원들의 정착율을 높이기 위해 신경을 써야 하는 관리 변수는 직무 만족도와 조직에 대한 몰입인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 조직에 대한 몰입은 회사에 대한 정착 의향 뿐아니라 주변 사람들에게 바람직한 시민행동을 발휘하게 하므로 단기적 정착 지표 뿐아니라 장기적인 조직 활성화를 이끌어낼 수 있다는 점에서 회사가 더욱 관심있게 관리해야 할 선행 지표라고 판단된다.
