The Relationship Between Sense of Calling and Safety Behaviors of Aircraft Maintenance Technicians: A Moderated Mediation Model

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2025.05.017

Abstract

Abstract:

A survey of 608 aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) examined the relationship between sense of calling and AMTs’ safety behaviors, as well as the mechanisms involving safety climate and safety-specific transformational leadership. The results showed that: 1) sense of calling positively predicted AMTs’ safety behaviors; 2) safety climate played a partial mediating role in the relationship between sense of calling and AMTs’ safety behaviors; 3) safety-specific transformational leadership negatively moderated the relationship between sense of calling and safety climate. These results provide valuable practical guidance for airlines in managing aviation safety.

Key words: sense of calling, safety climate, safety behaviors, safety-specific transformational leadership

摘要：

为探究使命感如何影响航空机务维修人员的安全行为，本研究对四家航空公司608名航空机务维修人员进行测量。结果显示：(1)使命感正向预测航空机务维修人员的安全行为；(2)安全氛围在使命感与航空机务维修人员安全行为之间起部分中介作用；(3)安全变革型领导力在使命感与安全氛围之间起负向调节作用。该结果对航空公司进行航空维修安全管理具有实践价值。
