Özet

The rates of human factors in air accidents are approximately 75% in the world, and the second reason for the accidents is organisational issues. It is important to examine organisational and individual causes of aircraft accidents. In this study, 334 people working in the aviation industry constitute the sample. In the research, descriptive analysis was performed with SPSS. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the scales. In the Amos program, the model was created by performing path analysis and moderator analysis. Although some of the sub-dimensions of organisational commitment (continuous, normative) directly affect the safety climate, when the whole organisational commitment is considered, it is seen that it indirectly affects the safety climate. It was found that organisational commitment affects both risk perception and collective gratitude. The serial mediation effect and full mediation effect of risk perception and collective gratitude were determined.
