Evaluation of Culture Conducive to Academic Success by Gender at a Comprehensive Cancer Center.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The primary objective of this study was to determine whether workplace culture in academic oncology differed by gender, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and methods

We used the Culture Conducive to Women's Academic Success (CCWAS), a validated survey tool, to investigate the academic climate at an NCI-designated Cancer Center. We adapted the CCWAS to be applicable to people of all genders. The full membership of the Cancer Center was surveyed (total faculty = 429). The questions in each of 4 CCWAS domains (equal access to opportunities, work-life balance, freedom from gender bias, and leadership support) were scored using a 5-point Likert scale. Median score and interquartile ranges for each domain were calculated.
