Work-Life Balance of Collaborative Statisticians and Methodologists in Multidisciplinary Settings

Which factors are associated with work-life balance among collaborative statisticians and methodologists in multidisciplinary settings?In this cross-sectional survey of 450 professionals from multiple countries, 31.8% reported dissatisfaction with their work-life balance, and an additional 10.4% reported neutral satisfaction. Years of professional experience, work-related health disability, organizational support, compensation adequacy, workload manageability, and flexibility to attend to personal matters were significantly associated with work-life balance subscale scores.These findings suggest that organizational policies supporting workplace flexibility, manageable workloads, and professional development may help improve work-life balance among statisticians and methodologists.
