The Impact of a Legally Defined Just Culture on Voluntary Reporting of Safety Information

The Impact of a Legally Defined Just Culture on Voluntary Reporting of Safety Information The aim of the present study was to examine commercialpilots’ reporting behavior and confidence in their airlines’ justculture. In pursuit of this aim, 539 European-based pilots participated in thestudy by answering an online questionnaire. The results are compared with anearlier study comprising Australian-based pilots. The results reveal that 84%and 57% of the European and Australian pilots, respectively, trust theirairlines’ just culture. When comparing reporting behaviors, it was foundthat 53% of the Australian pilots and 33% of the European pilots stated they hadfailed to report, or had under-reported, safety information in theirairlines’ safety management system. A distinct difference with theaviation regulatory backdrop that the two pilot groups operate within is thelegal legitimization of just culture in European law. It is unknown whether thisdifference influences confidence in just culture or has an effect on reportingbehavior. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aviation Psychology and Applied Human Factors American Psychological Association

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine commercialpilots’ reporting behavior and confidence in their airlines’ justculture. In pursuit of this aim, 539 European-based pilots participated in thestudy by answering an online questionnaire. The results are compared with anearlier study comprising Australian-based pilots. The results reveal that 84%and 57% of the European and Australian pilots, respectively, trust theirairlines’ just culture. When comparing reporting behaviors, it was foundthat 53% of the Australian pilots and 33% of the European pilots stated they hadfailed to report, or had under-reported, safety information in theirairlines’ safety management system. A distinct difference with theaviation regulatory backdrop that the two pilot groups operate within is thelegal legitimization of just culture in European law. It is unknown whether thisdifference influences confidence in just culture or has an effect on reportingbehavior.
