Flight instructors at aviation training centers are exposed to various stresses, such as stress caused by special work environments, stress caused by working conditions, and stress related to uncertain future airline employment. These stresses are expected to not only affect flight safety, but also adversely affect the job satisfaction of flight instructors, and consequently negatively affect the performance of high-quality flight education. Therefore, this study was conducted to understand the effects of these stresses on the job satisfaction of flight instructors by examining the stress experienced by flight instructors in flight, psychological, and physical aspects based on the results of previous studies on stress. To the end, this study conducted a survey of flight instructors belonging to aviation training centers, and as a result of analyzing the collected data, it was confirmed that the physical stress of flight instructors had a significant negative effect on their job satisfaction.

This study analyzed the effect of flight stress on job satisfaction and safety culture on 193 domestic civil airline pilots. As a result of the analysis, flight stress had a negative effect on job satisfaction, and pilots with low job satisfaction had a low awareness of safety culture. In particular, there was a difference in the effect of flight stress on job satisfaction and safety culture according to the airlines and rank of pilots. This suggests the necessity of developing customized stress management programs for each airline and pilot position. The study emphasizes the importance of managing pilots' stress and improving job satisfaction to reinforce the safety culture of the aviation industry. In addition, airlines should develop strategies to strengthen safety culture by reducing pilot stress and increasing job satisfaction. The result of this study is to be used as useful basic data for finding ways to manage pilots' stress and strengthen safety culture in the aviation industry.

This study is a study to analyze the stress difference of pilots according to the category of aircraft. According to previous studies, pilot stress is affected by several factors such as flight time, fatigue regulation, and operating environment, and it is known that stress also affects cardiac variability. In this paper, we analyzed that there is a difference in stress according to the operating environment through airline pilots and pilots of educational institutions, and then tested the difference in stress between airplane pilots and helicopter pilots. This study differs in that it is a study that has almost no empirical research on pilot fatigue and stress considering the role of flight crew members and operational conditions for each mission. If we expand and verify the sample of the results for the stress difference in the future, it will be a great contribution to practical aviation safety research in connection with the fatigue risk management system in the future.

Recently, the issue of maintaining pilot competency has emerged as one of the major challenges in the aviation industry due to irregular schedules and flight intervals caused by the global COVID-19. Therefore, a survey was conducted on airline pilots to determine how stressed they would be when returning to their flights after experiencing irregular schedules or long-term furloughs. The level of stress that pilots receive due to flight intervals was divided into periods, and correlation with general characteristics was identified to see what emotional burdens exist as the lengths of flight interval increased. As a result, burdened flight intervals and the Pilot Flying(PF) intervals were identified as a statistically significant variables. In the case of the Pilot Flying interval, the level of stress was confirmed to be worse as the flying interval was elongated, and in the case of the burdened flying interval, the tendency of the stress index were lower as the period increased. Through this study, pilots who experienced reduced flight times were found to be accompanied by considerable amount of emotional burden proportionate to the length of the interval period.

While the importance of the service industry has increased at the national economy level, the service rate and job satisfaction of the flight attendants in the aviation service industry are not high. In this regard, this study aims to recognize what factors can reduce their job stress in the emotional work environment, and how job stress affects their attitude and job performance. More specifically, the current study tries to investigate how flight attendants' positive psychological status affect their job stress, organizational commitment, and knowledge sharing in the aspect of job performance. The main five constructs in these interrelationships include the flight attendants' positive psychological capital, leader-member exchange(LMX), job stress, organizational commitment, and knowledge sharing. This study conducted a quantitative research with 390 questionnaire for flight attendants, and analyzed the data using SPSS/PC version 20.0 and structural equation modeling program of AMOS 20.0. The findings show that the favorable leader-member exchange relationship between flight attendants plays a significant role in lowering job stress, while high job stress has a negative effect on organizational commitment and knowledge sharing. The result also shows that personal positive psychological capital acts as a trigger to influence other factors. Therefore, this study suggests that it is essential for airlines not only to promote an organizational system to support the flight attendants' emotional work but also to maintain a positive psychological state for securing competitive human resources.

Despite the development of the aviation industry, aircraft accidents due to pilots' human errors continue to occur. The cause of aircraft accidents due to human errors is that they cannot remove hazard factors that hinder flight safety in advance, leading to accidents. This study examined how job stress, fatigue, and anxiety, which psychologically and physically affect flight safety among various hazard factors, affect pilots' safety behavior for flight crew and pilots of general aviation working in domestic airlines. In addition, an empirical analysis was conducted to confirm the mediating effect of safety culture between job stress and safety behavior. According to the results of the study, job stress not only directly affects the safety behavior of pilots, but also affects the safety culture of airlines such as safety atmosphere and reporting culture. The purpose of this study is to improve the performance of the safety management system through the correlation between the pilot's job stress and safety culture and safety behavior.
