The number of male dental hygienists has been continuously increasing in dental services. The purpose of this study aimed to identify therelationship between job stress, job satisfaction, and turnover intention in male dental hygienists and to provide basic data to improve their jobsatisfaction. The study population was 110 Korean male dental hygienists working for dental clinics or hospitals. The data were collected fromNovember 10 to December 7, 2015. After an explanation about the objective of the study, 110 questionnaires were distributed via email, and 97responses were analyzed using SPSS. Overall averages of job stress, job satisfaction and turnover intention in male dental hygienists were 3.05,2.92, and 3.47 out of 5, respectively. Some sub-factors of job stress, including interpersonal relationships at the workplace and future prospectsof dental clinics, were proven to have statistically significant negative influence on job satisfaction (p＜0.001). Regression analysis was performedwith job stress and job satisfaction as independent variables and turnover intention as a dependent variable. Results showed that job stress hada positive effect on turnover intention (p＜0.01) while job satisfaction had a negative effect on turnover intention (p＜0.001). Job satisfaction wasrevealed to have statistically significant negative influence on turnover intention (p＜0.001). Some of sub-factors of job stress, including workenvironment and future prospects of dental clinics and professional position, had a positive effect on turnover intention (p＜0.05). The study showedthat higher job stress led to higher turnover intention, and higher job satisfaction led to lower turnover intention. Accordingly, job stress and jobsatisfaction are critical factors for turnover intention in male dental hygienists.
