Assessing factors that influence perceived burnout in postdoctoral fellows and identifying recommendations to support their well-being
This study expands upon the sparse literature on postdoctoral fellows by exploring factors that contribute to their perceived well-being and burnout, as well as provide suggestions to support their well-being. Findings contribute to the broader conversation of postdoctoral fellow well-being and burnout and informs the academy of focused strategies to improve their well-being and reduce burnout.
