Abstract

This study summarizes the results of a survey that was geared to assess the current factors that are associated with various careers paths in the field of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE). The study is also aimed to provide useful information to established HFE educators, practitioners and policy makers. To address these goals, an online survey was distributed among the major HFE online listservs in the world. Data from 357 participants, representing 19 countries, was used for the analysis. This report presents categorical information about the distribution of income, work domains, demographic and geographic factors, educational qualifications, work motivation, and benefits of participants involved with HFE related careers. In addition, this study examined the relationship between those factors in order to present an updated image of the professional HFE community.
