German Radiologists' Job Satisfaction and Career Aspirations

For this survey, an institutional review board exemption (Charité – University Medicine Berlin, EA1/174/20) was obtained. All analyses were conducted in compliance with the revised Declaration of Helsinki.
A questionnaire was distributed via the German Roentgen Society’s (DRG) conference of university professors (KLR) and German Young Radiology Forum, the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and its Radiology Trainee Forum, and the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) Resident and Fellow Committee and manually sent to 4500 radiologists of the biggest German hospitals between December 2020 and April 2021. It consisted of 66 items about (a) professional background, (b) current professional situation, (c) job satisfaction, (d) career aims, and (e) personal information. To enable quantitative analyses of the participants’ responses, besides open questions, Likert scales, e.g., to assess the agreement to different work expectations, were employed. The complete questionnaire is provided as Supplement 1 to this article.
As most respondents worked in Germany and the number of participants from other countries was not representative, this article only employs data from participants with German affiliations.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
