Employees in the aviation sector constitute an especially interesting professional group due to a lack of empirical data on their psychological functioning, and the fact that this industry is currently experiencing a phase of dynamic development. However, taking into consideration the automation and specific qualities of the sector, human resources should be given much more attention as they are constantly challenged and face diverse difficulties at work while cooperating in various organic and non-organic teams.
The study included 326 employees of Pyrzowice (Poland), Szymany (Poland), and Košice (Slovakia) airports (however, people employed at the Polish airports were predominant, N = 250). The average age of the participants was 39.3 years, and the sample was predominantly male (N = 278, 85.3%). During the research procedure, the following questionnaires were used: the, the , the , and the .
The regression analysis indicated that personality variables did not allow for predicting the level of stress. However, the helplessness-oriented style (β = 0.191, p = 0.004), avoidant behaviors (β = 0.244, p < 0.001), and the feeling of threat (β = 0.147, p = 0.009) were significant predictors of the feeling of stress, and their high level corresponded with a higher level of stress. The final model explained 23% of the total variance in the feeling of stress.
Based on the results, practical recommendations should concern developing employees' skills related to monitoring stressors and strengthening proactivity in difficult or threatening situations. Such proactive strategies may decrease the tendency to use avoidant and helplessness-oriented behaviors that may cause a higher level of stress perceived by employees. Also, the authors recommend providing training and support using some cognitive behavioral techniques because it seems that the regular application of those methods supports the development of agency and control while facing challenging situations.

由于航空业员工的心理功能缺乏实证数据，且该行业目前正处于动态发展阶段，因此他们构成了一个特别有趣的专业群体。然而，考虑到自动化和该行业的特殊性质，应该更加关注人力资源，因为他们在各种有机和非有机团队中合作时，工作中不断面临挑战和各种困难。
该研究包括来自波兰 Pyrzowice、Szymany 和斯洛伐克 Košice 机场的 326 名员工（然而，波兰机场的员工居多，N = 250）。参与者的平均年龄为 39.3 岁，样本主要为男性（N = 278，85.3%）。在研究过程中，使用了以下问卷： 、 、 、 。
回归分析表明，人格变量不能预测压力水平。然而，无助导向型风格（β = 0.191，p = 0.004）、回避行为（β = 0.244，p < 0.001）和威胁感（β = 0.147，p = 0.009）是压力感的显著预测因子，其高水平对应着更高水平的压力感。最终模型解释了压力感总方差的 23%。
基于研究结果，实际建议应涉及培养员工监测压力源和在困难或威胁情况下增强主动性的技能。这种积极主动的策略可能会降低员工回避和无助导向行为的倾向，从而降低感知到的压力水平。此外，作者建议提供培训和支持，使用一些认知行为技术，因为定期应用这些方法似乎支持在面临挑战时发展机构和控制感。
