ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Dentistry is one of the highest risk occupations that face COVID-19, especially in countries that are severely affected by the pandemic, such as Indonesia.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of the study was to determine factors influencing job satisfaction among dentists during the new normal of COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia by utilizing the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach.METHODS:
A total of 310 Indonesian dentists voluntary completed an online questionnaire, which contained 58 questions. Several latent variables such as perceived severity of COVID-19, staff cooperation and management commitment, personal protective equipment, job stress, working hours, income, and overall job satisfaction were analyzed simultaneously.RESULTS:
SEM revealed perceived severity of COVID-19 had significant effects on job stress (ß0.394, pâ=â0.025) and the utilization of personal protective equipment (ß0.757, pâ=â0.001). Subsequently, job stress (ß-0.286, pâ=â0.001), working hours (ß0.278, pâ=â0.018), income (ß0.273, pâ=â0.003), personal protective equipment (ß0.145, pâ=â0.038), and staff cooperation & management commitment (ß0.091, pâ=â0.002) were found to have significant effects on overall job satisfaction. In addition, management & staff cooperation was found to have a significant association with job stress reduction (ß-0.319, pâ=â0.003) which subsequently led to higher satisfaction.CONCLUSIONS:
The current study is one of the first that analyzed job satisfaction among dentists in Indonesia during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The integrated latent variables can be applied and extended to evaluate job satisfaction among dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic in other countries. Finally, this study contributed as a theoretical foundation for policymakers to enhance the job satisfaction of dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic.Palavras-chave
