This study mainly intends to determine the factors for which dental technicians are satisfied withtheir jobs and how much the resulting job transfer rate is and thus to identify the correlationbetween them.For these purpose, 200 subjects were sampled out of dental technicians in Seoul and Incheon, andthe survey was performed from July 19, 2002 to August 15 (for 25 days) with self-administeredquestionnaire. Out of all collected questionnaires, 131 pieces(65.5%) were addressed for this study. As for the tools for this study, the structured questionnaire was used with its proven reliabilityand feasibility, and the contents of questionnaire consisted of 32 questions on the basis of relatedreferences. The contents of questionnaire were categorized into 3 sections: General attribute of subjects;Factors for which dental technicians are satisfied with their jobs; and their intention of job transfer.The questionnaire consisted of total 32 questions which included general attribute of subjects(10questions), factors of their satisfaction with jobs(17 questions) and intention of job transfer(5questions). The data analysis was processed by computerized system with SPSS(Statistical Package forSocial Sciences). Statistical analysis techniques included frequency, percentage, T-test, F-testanalysis and regression analysis. As a result of those analyses, the conclusion can be summarized as follows: 1. As a result of analyzing the factors for which the subjects were satisfied with their jobs, it wasfound that there were significant differences in career and job title out of question items(P<0.001).It was also shown that the factors of subjects' satisfaction averaged 3.43, which was considerablyhigher value than I expected. It was found that job and management factors were major jobsatisfaction factors. 2. As a result of analyzing the intention of subjects to decide their job transfer, it was found thatthere were significant differences in job title and marital status out of question items(P〈0.001).It was shown that the total average of the intention of their job transfer amounted to 3.06. It wasshown that dental technicians have relatively higher intention of job transfer from their currentwork place. 3. It was found that there was inverse correlation between the factors of subjects' satisfaction withtheir jobs and their intention of job transfer(r=-0.490, P〈0.05). Likewise, it was also found thatthere was inverse correlation mostly between the evaluation value for each independent variableregion in term of each factor of job satisfaction and the value for the intention of job transfer. Inview of these correlations, it was concluded that higher job satisfaction likely led to lower jobtransfer. 4. As a result of regression analysis so as to determine the influences of job satisfaction factorson the intention of job transfer, it was found that the highest influential factor was managementfactor. And it was shown that the test values of model were statistically significant and itsexplanatory power amounted to 54.6%.
