A need was identified for a consistent set of safety climate factors to provide a basis for aviation industry benchmarking.
Six broad safety climate themes were identified from the literature and consultations with industry safety experts. Items representing each of the themes were prepared and administered to 940 Australian commercial pilots.
Data from half of the sample (N=468) were used in an exploratory factor analysis that produced a 3-factor model of Management commitment and communication, Safety training and equipment, and Maintenance. A confirmatory factor analysis on the remaining half of the sample showed the 3-factor model to be an adequate fit to the data.
The results of this study have produced a scale of safety climate for aviation that is both reliable and valid.
This study developed a tool to assess the level of perceived safety climate, specifically of pilots, but may also, with minor modifications, be used to assess other groups' perceptions of safety climate.
人们发现需要一套一致的安全气候因素，为航空业基准测试提供基础。
从文献以及与行业安全专家的磋商中确定了六个广泛的安全气候主题。准备了代表每个主题的项目，并对940名澳大利亚商业飞行员进行了调查。
样本中一半的数据（N = 468）用于探索性因素分析，得出了管理承诺与沟通、安全培训与设备以及维护的三因素模型。对样本另一半进行的验证性因素分析表明，三因素模型与数据拟合良好。
本研究结果产生了一个可靠且有效的航空安全气候量表。
本研究开发了一种工具来评估感知到的安全气候水平，特别是飞行员的，但稍作修改后也可用于评估其他群体对安全气候的看法。
