    Suzuki and Sato (1978) reported data obtained from 410 dental hygienists aged 24--39 years of age. The most frequent reasons for leaving their jobs were difficulties in personal relations and then disappointment with the commercialism of dentists. Additional reasons included no fixed programme of the routine aspects of their work, compulsory duties beyond those legally permitted them and no leadership in the clinic. In contrast, many dental hygienists felt rewarded by the success achieved through health instruction of patients, appreciation of their work by patients and having the opportunity to demonstrate their professional abilities. Given these kinds of perceptions about the occupation of dental hygienists, expressed by hygienists themselves, it would appear imperative that the dental profession and health administrators in Japan consider the disincentives inherent in the jobs and attempt to convert these to incentives.
