Özet:The aim of the current study is to investigate the relationship between organizational safety climate, preconditions for unsafe acts, particularly perceived stress, locus of control, risk perception and behavioral markers of Crew Resource Management (CRM) training, and unsafe acts of airline pilots among Turkish sample. Although unsafe acts got attention through years to analyze accident causation, there has been no study to investigate the relationship between unsafe acts, their antecedents and contributors. 155 airline pilots participated in the present study. The age range of the pilots was between 21 and 62. To measure unsafe acts of the pilots, Airline Pilot Behavior Inventory was developed. Pilots perceived stress was measured by asking them to rate their stress level in normal flight conditions. To measure preconditions for unsafe acts Aviation Safety Locus of Control scale, Risk Perception-Self and -Other scales and Safety Operation Behavior scales were adapted into Turkish. To measure safety climate, Aviation Safety Climate Scale was adapted into Turkish. The relationships between study variables were examined based on the Human Factor Analysis and Classification System framework. The present study is the first study to examine the relationship between unsafe acts of commercial aviation pilots and their antecedents and contributors. Evaluations of the findings, possible contributions of the study and limitations and possible suggestions for future research were discussed in the light of the literature.
