AHRA survey. Job content and salary survey. Part III: Chief technologist.
In October, 1993, the AHRA surveyed its members on the scope of their jobs, as well as their salaries, benefits and raises. Data was collected on facility demographics, member characteristics, areas of responsibility, volume of procedures performed, number of full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel supervised, and operating budget. The relationship of these factors to salary was investigated. Part I (Radiology Management 16.2, spring, 1994) presented general demographic information and average salary for administrative directors of radiology in hospitals and nonhospitals. Part II (Radiology Management 16.3, summer, 1994) presented information about job content for administrative directors of radiology and compared the results to previous AHRA job content and salary surveys. Part III presents information about demographics, job content and average salary for chief technologists in hospitals and nonhospitals. One hundred and fourteen chief technologists working in hospitals and 16 working in nonhospital facilities responded to the survey. It is important to remember the small number of nonhospital respondents when reviewing the results. Fifty-eight percent of hospital and 56% of nonhospital chief technologists report no change in their benefits package in the past 12 months. Eighty-three percent of respondents from hospitals and 81% from nonhospitals received a salary increase in the past 12 months. The average salary increase was 5% in hospitals and 4% in nonhospitals. Average salary is reported as a function of several variables, which may be interdependent. In hospitals, the average chief technologist's salary is $45,838. In nonhospitals, the average salary is $42,562, 7% lower than for hospitals.
