Abstract
Background: To identify work?family balance and level of happiness among married women dental hygienists in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The goal of this study is to use the outcome as basic data to determine the compatibility of dental hygienists with work and family, systems, and improvement of happiness levels.
Methods: From July 3 to August 10, 2020, 250 dental hygienists in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province were targeted. The questionnaire comprised 65 questions, including general characteristics (perception of work?family balance, perception of work?family balance system, job satisfaction, parenting type, happiness level) whether or not they were implemented. The results were obtained through a self-control questionnaire.
Results: The perception of work?family balance was significantly different in job rank and average income, while that of the work?family balance system had significant differences in workplace type, total work experience, current job work experience, childcare system status, and parental leave period. Happiness level and job satisfaction were significantly different in job rank, average income, and childcare system status. Additionally, the perception of work?family balance and that of the work?family balance system showed a positive correlation with job satisfaction and happiness level. Finally, the perception of married women dental hygienists toward work?family compatibility was determined, where the higher the satisfaction with the job, the higher the level of happiness.
Conclusion: To improve the work?family balance and job satisfaction of dental hygienists and their levels of happiness, changes in social perception and improvement of the working environment such as proper staffing, flexible work systems, and incentive systems should be considered.
