Abstract

Objectives

Using Job Demands and Resources Theory (Demerouti & Bakker, 2011, South African Journal of Industrial Psychology, 37, 1) as the guiding theoretical framework, the present study tested a model that included working condition variables (i.e., remuneration, workplace ergonomics, and work area), two psychosocial factors (i.e., perceived organizational support and psychological meaningfulness of work), and job satisfaction and work engagement among French dentists and dental assistants.

Method

A sample of 218 French self-employed dentists and 143 dental assistants were surveyed via a self-administered questionnaire.

Results

Multiple regression analysis revealed that the model accounted for 44% of variance in overall job satisfaction for dentists and 64% for dental assistants. In addition, the same model accounted for 39% of variation in overall work engagement for dentists and 50% for dental assistants. For both groups, the greatest part of the variance of job satisfaction and engagement at work was explained by psychosocial variables.

Discussion

This study underscores the importance of psychosocial factors in job satisfaction and engagement at work among dental teams. It also provides a more comprehensive understanding of these relationships.

除了工作条件，心理社会因素对工作满意度的预测，以及法国牙医和牙科助理的工作投入

工作需求和资源理论(Demerouti &Bakker, 2011, South African Journal of Industrial Psychology, 37, 1)作为指导理论框架，本研究测试了一个模型，该模型包括工作条件变量(即薪酬、工作场所人机工程和工作区域)、两个社会心理因素(即感知组织支持和工作的心理意义)、工作满意度和工作投入。方法采用自填问卷对218名法国个体牙医和143名牙科助理进行调查。结果多元回归分析显示，该模型对牙医整体工作满意度的方差占44%，对牙医助理整体工作满意度的方差占64%。此外，同一模型占牙医整体工作投入变化的39%，占牙科助理整体工作投入的50%。对于这两组人来说，工作满意度和工作投入的最大差异是由社会心理变量解释的。本研究强调了心理社会因素在牙科团队工作满意度和工作投入中的重要性。它还提供了对这些关系的更全面的理解。
