Multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing the happiness index of dental hygienists. Results: According to the analysis, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the dentist’s servant leadership, the organizational culture and the happiness index of dental hygienists. However, a stewardship of the dentist’s servant leadership factors was not found to have any correlation with the market culture.

Meanwhile, the stewardship and community-building effect of the dentist’s servant leadership had a statistically significant effect on the happiness index of dental hygienists. Consequently, a higher servant leadership factor in dentists was correlated with a higher happiness index of dental hygienists.
