The aim of this study was to make dental technicians recognize the importance of their
professional self-concept, and to provide basic data to devise the educational programs and policies of establishing their positive professional self-concept. In addition, the investigator tried to present some improvement measures for dental technicians’ actual services by examining their job satisfaction. Study findings are as follows:
First, the score of study subjects’ self-concept is 3.41( .58) (perfect score=5), middle or high in
rank. As for the mean score of professional self-concept by realms, the self-concept of
communication is 3.59( .67), the highest; the self-concept of leadership in the realm of
professional service is 3.54( .75); the self-concept of skills is 3.50( .75); the self-concept of
adaptability is 3.47( .69); and the recognizant level of satisfactory self-concept is 2.95( .81),
below the normal.
Second, as for the difference of professional self-concept according to general characteristics,
such variables as age, marital states, and the length of one’s service have a significant influence
upon the recognition of self-concept. First, the self-concept of those whose age is between 31 and 35 is the highest (3.64 .49), and it is followed by that of those whose age is 36 and above (3.57 .77) and then that of those whose age is between 26 and 30 (3.31 .56)). And that of those whose age is below 25 is the lowest. The obove results show us that the professional self-concept of older study subjects is higher than that of younger ones in general(p<.01). As for marital states, that of married persons(3.54 .64) is higher than that of unmarried ones(3.35 .55)(p<.05). As for the length of one’s service, that of longtime employees is higher than that of short-period workers(p<.01). In relation to positions, a manager’s professional self-concept is the highest(3.89 .55) and that of an assistant technician is the lowest(3.17 .58). Study findings show that the professional self-concept of higher ranking technicians is higher than that of lower ones in general (p<.001).
Based on the study findings, the investigator suggests followings:
First, studies on the professional self-concept that is appropriate to the characteristics of dental
technicians must be carried out with a new point of view.
Second, a tool must be researched and developed in order for the professional self-concept of
dental technicians to be measured.
Third, if a new professional self-concept is established and a measuring tool is developed, a study on the relationship between dental technicians’ professional self-concept and practice performance can be carried out again.
