The purpose of this study is to investigate relations between the organizational culture and job
satisfaction of ordinary dental technicians who are serving at dental laboratories. Findings of the
study are summarized as follows.
Ordinary dental technicians’ job satisfaction as a whole was measured 3.40 in average score. In
detail, those dental technicians were highest in satisfaction about their work, followed by their
work conditions, organizational relations and occupation itself in order, but showed some
dissatisfaction in terms of their self-realization.
Regarding relations between the organizational culture and job satisfaction of ordinary dental
technicians, the former was found significantly affecting the latter. Those dental technicians' job
satisfaction was being most positively influenced by innovation-orientation as one of their
organizational culture styles, followed by task-orientation.
In regard to relations between sub-areas of the satisfaction and styles of the culture, ordinary
dental technicians’ organizational relations were being significantly, positively affected by such
styles of their organizational culture as relation-orientation and task-orientation. Those technicians' occupational satisfaction, self-realization and work conditions were being strongly influenced by one of their organizational culture styles, that is, innovation-orientation. Originary dental technicians’ work satisfaction was not being significantly affected by any of the organizational culture styles.
The more relation- or task-orienting ordinary dental technicians were in organizational culture,
the stronger their organizational relations were. The more innovation-orienting ordinary dental
technicians were in organizational culture, the more those dental technicians’ satisfaction regarding their occupation, self-realization and work conditions is likely to positively change.
These findings indicate that ordinary dental technicians are even more orienting both relation and
task in organizational culture, while being afraid of innovation and that their organizational culture
as a whole is somewhat strict hierarchically.
