Research Design, Data, and Methodology - This survey was conducted over a seven-month period from February 1 to September 30, 2018 and was designated as a domestic airline flight attendant. Direct visits to Incheon International Airport and Gimpo International Airport were also conducted through an online questionnaire. A total of 515 questionnaires were used for empirical analysis. To verify two hypothesis of this study, a regression analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were performed using SPSS WIN 26.0. Results - Analysis on the impact of personal capacity of airline cabin crew on job satisfaction showed that technical competence, knowledge capacity and ability capacity, which are sub-factor factors of personal capacity, had a positive effect on job satisfaction. Recovery resilience also plays a positive role in relationships between individual competence and job satisfaction. Conclusions - It has been empirically analyzed that the personal characteristics of the airline crew have a significant effect on flight attendant's job satisfaction. It can be seen that flight attendants tend to perform well beyond what is required in their duties, and that active and confident cabin crew members tend to perform well in the direction of improving their duties, and are also highly satisfied with their duties.

Aircraft accidents these days, following the mega sizing trend of the aircraft, result in enormous losses of human lives apart from those of property, which cannot be replaced by any means. As most recently, in April 20, 2012, a Boeing 737 passenger plane departed Karachi on an augural flight to Islamabad, Pakistan, crashed close to an express highway on final approach, all 121 passengers and 6 crew members were killed. As such a large number of fatalities have been recorded in aircraft accidents while accident investigation results show that more than 95% of aircraft accidents are now survivable. There are three basic stages in surviving the aircraft accident: surviving the crash impact, the evacuation process and the hostile post evacuation environmental elements. These stages require the cabin crew's expeditious and appropriate actions on the basis of systematic and thorough cabin safety training in order to increase occupants' survivability, along with the passengers' preparedness. In this aspect, this paper examines the issues acting as the impediments to the passenger survival in inflight emergency situations, that are the deficiencies with cabin crew safety training, related performances and the shortcomings in passengers' knowledge on inflight safety information, leading to their inappropriate responses to emergency situations. These issues are analyzed and the root causes are identified, suggesting the resolving countermeasures.

This study aimed to examine the effects of leisure activities on leisure satisfaction and job satisfaction among airline cabin crew, as well as the mediating effect of leisure satisfaction. The context for this research was the sudden increase in air travel demand in 2022 following the COVID-19 economic recovery, which led to cabin crew members experiencing severe stress and fatigue due to excessive scheduling. To achieve this research objective, a self-administered online survey was conducted with 251 cabin crew members from domestic and international airlines, resulting in a total of 224 valid leisure satisfaction and job satisfaction, as well as the mediating effect of leisure satisfaction on the relationship between leisure activity types and job satisfaction. The hypothesis testing results revealed that all types of leisure activities, including family-oriented, friend-oriented, and work-related activities, had a significant positive effect on leisure satisfaction. Family-oriented and work-related leisure activities had a significant positive effect on job satisfaction, and leisure satisfaction had a significant positive effect on job satisfaction. Additionally, the mediation analysis confirmed that leisure satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between family-oriented and work-related leisure activities and job satisfaction, while it fully mediated the relationship between friend-oriented leisure activities and job satisfaction. Therefore, the study offers academic implications based on these findings and proposes strategies for utilizing various types of leisure activities to enhance leisure satisfaction and job satisfaction among airline cabin crew. It also suggests that future research should further validate these findings through methods such as the Delphi technique or Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis to assess the importance and prioritization of these factors among relevant industry stakeholders.

This study analyzed the characteristics of each type of subjective perception of cabin crew by applying Q-methodology to understand the competencies required of airline cabin crew. As a result of analyzing 33 Q-samples and 33 P-samples using the Ken-Q Analysis program, four types were identified: "Physical strength and appearance quality-oriented", "job performance-oriented", "communication ability-oriented", and "job consciousness-oriented". Most types showed high agreement on physical factors, ability to cope with emergency situations and work responsibility. The results can be used as basic data to develop effective curriculum for airline training course and airline service majors, and it can be a reference material to help job seekers understand the job and cultivate necessary competencies.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the mindset on stress and job performance. For the analysis, a questionnaire is conducted for cabin crew members in K airlines, and a total of 266 copies are used for the final analysis. To verify the hypotheses of the study, frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, measurement model analysis, validation of the measuremen model, and structural equation model analysis are used based on the questionnaire. First, it is confirmed that the mindset had a negative (-) effect on the cabin crew's role stress, reward stress and relationship stress. Second, it is found that cabin crew's reward stress have a negative (-) effect on job performance. On the other hand, relationship stress is found to have a positive influence on job performance and there is no significant result in effect with role stress. Third, the mindset showes a significant positive impact relationship on job performance. As a result, it is necessary to introduce a mindset intervention program so that it can be applied in practical work. These research results confirm the positive effects of mindsets and show that they contribute to organizational performance. In addition, it is necessary to prepare a program to change the mindset of airline cabin crew and to be applied in actual work.
