Abstract
Objectives: This study proposes a hypothetical model for job stress, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention through social exchange relations (LMX, TMX) and political skills (LPS) for dental hygienists working in dental clinics hygienists. Methods: A self-administrated questionnaire was administered from April 1 to May 12, 2020, with 171 dental clinic hygienists participating in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongnam. The data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS statistical analysis programs. Results: First, in the hypotheses testing, a total of 7 of 18 hypotheses were supported. Second, the relatonship between leader-member exchange (LMX) or team-member exchange (TMX) and turnover intention, a full mediating effect of job stress or job satisfaction or organizational commitment on that exchange was found. However, the leader’s political skills on the path to turnover intention were not statistically significant. Conclusions: It is considered that education to enhance job skills, support for leisure activities, and time to communicate opinions with each other should be provided to create an organizational culture that satisfies all members, thereby lowering the intention to turnover.
