Objectives: Previous research on turnover has been conducted from the organization¡¯s perspective. However, for the long-term retention of dental hygienists, it is necessary to conduct research from an individual¡¯s perspective. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of achievement motivation on the intention to stay of dental hygienists.
Methods: This study conducted an online survey targeting dental hygienists working in dental healthcare institutions, using convenience sampling from September, 2023. The analysis included 152 participants with long-term work experience and 121 participants with shorter work experience. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing retention intentions (PASW Statistics ver. 23.0, p<0.05).
Results: Factors influencing intention to stay for long-term dental hygienists included the number of dental hygienists and achievement motivation (responsibility, challenge, task orientation), with a significant impact (adj. R2=0.317). For shorterterm dental hygienists, achievement motivation (challenge, task orientation) demonstrated a significant impact (adj. R2=0.164).
Conclusions: It was observed that intrinsic factors, particularly achievement motivation, had a significant impact on intention to stay. Consequently, exploring strategies to satisfy intrinsic motivation, such as achievement motivation, is deemed necessary.
