Abstract


OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to identify the effects of team-member exchange (TMX) on dental hygienists' commitment.
METHODS
A self-administrated questionnaire was conducted from August 22 to September, 2016 with 191 dental hygienists in Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do. Teacher-member relationships and community were evaluated with the TMX scale and community scale, respectively. A self-administered five-point scale. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and multiple linear regression analysis.
RESULTS
Overall TMX and commitment levels of subjects were 3.78±0.43 and 3.20±0.41, respectively. The TMX subcategories that influenced commitment and change (a subcategory of commitment) were community consciousness, and trust and respect. The TMX subcategory that influenced organization (a subcategory of commitment) was community consciousness.
CONCLUSIONS
Dental hygienists' commitment was closely related to community consciousness, and trust and respect.
