Abstract

Introduction: This study attempts to understand the demographics and salaries of the biosafety workforce worldwide. It builds upon previous surveys of biosafety professionals. Methods: Using multiple regression, this study explored what factors significantly predict salary. Moreover, this study examined whether significant differences existed regarding salary. These differences were analyzed in isolation (i.e., the variable itself) and while controlling for the variables that predicted salary. Results: In this article, eight factors significantly predicted salary: right-to-work state first, biosafety certifications, place of employment, data entry responsibilities, percentage of biosafety job responsibilities, number of direct reports, level of education, and finally the cumulative years of experience in the field. Discussion: This study highlighted certain trends that have remained consistent and new trends that have emerged over time. This research had increased international participation as compared with previous studies.

2020年生物安全劳动力的人口和工资趋势。

引言:本研究试图了解世界范围内生物安全工作人员的人口统计和工资。它建立在以前对生物安全专业人员的调查基础之上。方法:运用多元回归分析方法，探讨哪些因素对薪酬有显著影响。此外，本研究还考察了薪酬方面是否存在显著差异。这些差异是单独分析的(即变量本身)，同时控制了预测工资的变量。结果:在本文中，有8个因素对薪酬有显著影响:第一是工作权利状态，第二是生物安全证书，第三是工作地点，第三是数据录入职责，第三是生物安全岗位职责比例，第三是直接报告人数，第三是受教育程度，最后是在该领域的累积经验年数。讨论:这项研究强调了一些一直保持一致的趋势和随着时间的推移出现的新趋势。与以前的研究相比，这项研究增加了国际参与。
