We prove that the algebraic condition $|p-2| |< {\mathscr Im}{\mathscr A}\xi,\xi>| \leq 2 \sqrt{p-1} < {\mathscr Re}{\mathscr A}\xi,\xi>$ (for any $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$) is necessary and sufficient for the $L^{p}$-dissipativity of the Dirichlet problem for the differential operator $\nabla^{t}({\mathscr A}\nabla)$, where ${\mathscr A}$ is a matrix whose entries are complex measures and whose imaginary part is symmetric. This result is new even for smooth coefficients, when it implies a criterion for the $L^{p}$-contractivity of the corresponding semigroup. We consider also the operator $\nabla^{t}({\mathscr A}\nabla)+{\bf b}\nabla +a$, where the coefficients are smooth and ${\mathscr Im}{\mathscr A}$ may be not symmetric. We show that the previous algebraic condition is necessary and sufficient for the $L^{p}$-quasi-dissipativity of this operator. The same condition is necessary and sufficient for the $L^{p}$-quasi-contractivity of the corresponding semigroup. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the $L^{p}$-dissipativity in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ of the operator $\nabla^{t}({\mathscr A}\nabla)+{\bf b}\nabla +a$ with constant coefficients.
