  • This paper has tried to research the perception of pilots in a commercial airliners or full service carriers focusing on the airliner's safety management system (SMS). ICAO requires the airliners to set up the basic standards of SMS since the SMS is believed to be the core of the aviation risk management. According to the previous study, it was proved safety climate of an airline affects the safety behavior of cockpit crews. Safety climate is different from safety culture and the safety climate has an advantage to be measured more quantitatively than the culture. That is, the safety climate could be represented as SMS. As the results of the empirical study based on Chen & Chen(2014)'s SMS practice sacle, it had been assumed at the beginning the major factors such as Clarification of SMS, Safety Training for Crews and Sharing of SMS Information have positive effects on the motivation for safety behaviors. The motivation is directly correlated to crews' safety behaviors. However, the result showed the clarification of SMS has not a significant effect on their safety behaviors. The main reason is cockpit crews, through the survey, perceived airline seemed to have no definite standards of SMS and the senior management to have less interest in aviation safety.

  • In the field of civil aviation in Korea, inappropriate crew resources management(CRM) constantly occurs between captains and first officers during flight. Therefore, the active role of first officers is emphasized in pilot training for CRM, threat & error management(TEM), safety management system(SMS), fatigue risk management system(FRMS), and training in simulators. Thus, it is urgent for captains to change their transformational leadership to emotional leadership, advantages of which include horizontal interpersonal relationship, open-mindedness, leading by example, considerateness, mutual respect, and using informal language. For the direction to improve 'the cockpit culture' in civil aviation, the key idea of the current thesis paper is the influence of captains' transformational and emotional leadership on the emotions of first officers.
