    基督教聖經之智慧書導讀 : The present study examines the effects of occupational stress and job resources on experienced burnout, work engagement, and job satisfaction among dentists and dental hygienists who practice within Dental Service Organizations. In occupational stress theory, the Job Demands-Resources model has been used to predict two fairly independent processes for stress outcomes. Job demands are an energy depletion process resulting in strain and most strongly related to negative stress outcomes. Job resources are a motivational process and most strongly related to positive stress outcomes. In this study, job demands and job resources were used to predict burnout, work engagement, and job satisfaction. A total of 101 currently practicing dentists and dental hygienists from a Dental Service Organization completed questionnaires on their work characteristics and related stress outcomes. The results of regression analyses found that job demands and job resources had the greatest impact on stress outcomes. High job demands were most strongly related to higher levels of burnout, while increased levels of job resources were most strongly related to higher levels of work engagement and job satisfaction. The results also showed that job resources mediates the relationship between role and work engagement. This study shows support for the hypothesized occupational stress model for dentists, while adding support for dental hygienists. It also shows support for this model in Dental Service Organizations.
