Collected documents were used by ‘Window SAS 8.0 Program’ for analysis. The significance of the test related to the items and its standards has been decided for p<0.05. To find out the differences between choices when choosing career and the duty satisfaction, t-test, one-way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA have been used.
Results: Following research findings show: 1. There was high self-esteem towards the job as dental technicians but low in future job vision. 2. It has been found that if satisfaction on their job (dental technician) is high then also their satisfaction on its duty (denture part) is high. 3. The factors that affects mostly on duty satisfaction of denture part are ‘the contribution on improving oral cavity of people’( =0.33118), ‘The possibility of growth of person’s job choices’( =0.30035) and ‘person’s satisfaction on choosing job’( =0.16069). 4. If there is an increase level on the contribution of improving people’s oral cavity, the possibility of growth of person’s job choices and the person’s satisfaction on choosing job, then there is also high growth in denture part’s duty satisfaction. 5. It has been found that if there are more employment histories of denture part, the duty satisfaction of denture part were also high. On the other hand, the more employment history of dental technicians get, the duty satisfaction of their denture part was low.
