Abstract

Objectives : This study is to make basic materials for an effective human resource management plan by understanding relationship between self-esteem and intention of transfer of dental hygienists who are working in dental diagnostic institutions and to contribute to human resource program development for promoting development into a dental hygienic profession. Method : This survey was carried out for dental hygienists who are engaging in dental diagnostic institutions in part of Cheonbuk Area by survey researchers for 10 days from September 14 to September 24, 2011 by visiting dental clinics after respondents replied to a questionnaire after listening to explanations of study purposes. Total 210 copies of questionnaire were retrieved and 201 copies were used as materials for the final analysis excluding 9 copies with insincere replies. Results : 1. The total average grade for self-esteem of study objects was 32.83(±3.08) points. The total average of intention of transfer was found to be 32.91(±7.50) points. 2. Self-esteem by satisfaction on the current workplaces was shown to be high with ‘very satisfactory’ (p=0.028), which has significant difference statistically (p<0.05). 3. In the intention of transfer by general characteristics, 20-25 years (35.15±7.17) was higher than over 40 years old (23.44±3.47) by age to show significant difference statistically (p=0.000). As for married status, single (34.42±6.64) was found to have higher intention of transfer than married (30.28±8.11), which showed significant difference statistically (p=0.018). As for the education background, 3 year course college graduates (33.49±7.25) showed more intention of transfer than over undergraduate students (22.75±9.43) to show significance statistically (p=0.002) and in the working years 1~ 3 years (34.40±7.07) was found to have more intention of transfer than over 10 years (25.13±5.08) to be significant statistically (p=0.000). The annual income less than 25 million won (34.10±6.54) showed more intention of transfer than over 40 million won (21.00±0.00) (p=0.000). 4. Intention of transfer by satisfaction of current workplaces was found to be high in ‘very unsatisfactory’, which showed significant difference statistically (p<0.001). 5. Pure correlation between self-esteem and intention of transfer came into existence and intention of transfer was found to be higher as self-esteem is higher. Conclusion : Through results as above, intention of transfer of dental hygienists was found to be higher as self-esteem is higher. Various follow-up studies which are to perform empirical verification by analyzing various factors which can affect intention of transfer based on this and using them as control variables are thought to be tried.
