Abstract

This study targeted 123 dental hygienists working at the university and dental hospital as well as the dental clinic in Busan. The study ran for 5 months beginning July 23, 2016. The purpose of the study was to understand the relationship between core competencies and job performance for dental hygienists. The major core competencies of dental hygienists were interpersonal relation competency (3.61) was the highest, followed by management and educational competency (3.59), organizational relation competency (3.57), and basic dental hygiene management competency (3.56). Regarding the subjects' job performance, 'the task requested by a boss could be finished by the deadline' (3.93) was the highest, followed by 'there has been no case where others were harmed owing to carelessness' (3.76). 'The performance exceeding the targets set by the boss' (3.11) was relatively low. The group working for dental hospitals showed higher job performance than the group working for dental clinics (p=0.009) while there were high correlations between core competencies and job performance (p=0.733). Also, analysis for understanding relevant variables of core competencies that affected job performance revealed that the interpersonal relation competency (p=0.25), self-control competency (p=0.32), and basic dental hygiene competency (p=0.15) were significant. In summary, reinforcement of the dental hygienists' core competencies has a positive effect on job performance. Improved job performance in turn should improve patient care as well as the performance of the healthcare organization overall which will be eventually helpful to the provision of high-quality medical service to patients, and helpful for the hospital organization Helpful in making their performance better. Therefore, it would be necessary to establish administrative/educational support to facilitate dental hygiene education to develop major competencies and vocational basic abilities, as well as reinforce diverse competency educational programs for the current dental hygienists.

2016년 7월 23일부터 5개월간 부산광역시에 소재한 대학병원치과, 치과병 의원 및 보건소에 근무하는 치과위생사 123명을 대상으로 치과위생사의 핵심역량과 직무성과의 수준과 관련성을 파악하고, 직무성과에 영향을 미치는 핵심역량을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 본 연구대상자의 핵심역량 수준을 살펴보면 대인관계역량이 3.61점으로 가장 높았으며, 환자관리 및 교육역량이 3.59점, 조직관계역량이 3.57점, 기본치위생 관리역량이 3.56점 순으로 나타났다. 대상자의 직무성과에서는 상사가 요구한 일을 기일 내 마칠 수 있다가 3.93점으로 가장 높았으며, 다음으로 지각하지 않고 부주의로 타인에게 피해를 준 적이 없다가 3.76점으로 다음 순으로 나타났으며 상사가 책정해 놓은 목표치보다 초과달성 성과부분이 3.11점으로 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 치과병원에 근무하는 집단이 치과의원에 근무하는 집단보다 직무성과가 높은 것으로 나타났으며(p=0.009), 핵심역량과 직무성과 간에는 0.733으로 높은 상관관계를 가졌다. 그리고 핵심역량이 직무성과에 미치는 관련 변수들을 파악하기 위해 분석한 결과는 대인관계역량(p=0.25), 자기조절역량(p=0.32), 기본치위생 관리역량(p=0.15)이 유의하게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 살펴보면 치과위생사들의 역량을 강화시키는 것이 직무성과를 달성하는 데 기여할 수 있으며, 이는 궁극적으로 환자들에게 양질의 의료서비스 제공하고 병원조직의 성과 달성에도 도움이 될 것이다. 따라서 치과위생사의 전공역량과 직업기초능력을 골고루 겸비할 수 있도록 치위생(학)과 교육과 더불어 현재 활동 중이 치과위생사들의 역량강화 교육 프로그램이 다양한 방법으로 행정적, 교육적 제도 지원이 필요할 것이다.
