The organizational culture of airlines as a risk factor for the professional health of pilots and flight safety in modern Russian Civil Aviation

Introduction. We present the study results of pilots of different age groups about the role of campaign policies in ensuring the safety of flights, health, and social well-being of pilots.

The study aims to learn the ideas of civil aviation pilots of different age groups about the role of campaign policies in ensuring flight safety.

Materials and methods. The researchers used the following methods as empirical research methods: focus group method, content analysis of pilots' statements, frequency analysis method, implemented in the SPSS-20 program.

Results. According to the frequency analysis results, we identified adverse factors of the labor process that negatively affect flight safety. Of these, the most damaging factors of labor activity are: a violation of the elements and features of the organizational, legal and material, and economic management subsystems (organizational characteristics) — 97.5% of respondents; infringement of the work and rest regime of civil aviation pilots — 100% of respondents; stress in the workplace — 92.5% of respondents; poor-quality training — 77.5%; manipulation of wages — 77%.

Conclusions. The analysis of the obtained results allows us to conclude that the management policy of the organization and personnel is a crucial factor determining flight safety, a high level of motivation to work, productivity, and health of pilots
