MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT: CORNERSTONE OF AVIATION SAFETY CULTURE
- Share to:
Knowledge of cultural influences can be leveraged to mitigate risk, to contain costs and to improve corporate effectiveness. Surprisingly, these aspects of organizational behaviour are often overlooked or their effect underestimated. Management commitment may be the single most important determinant of airline safety. Although further research linking measured management commitment and safety performance is warranted, it is clear, at least implicitly, that such a relationship exists. Safety culture, internalising the principles of strategic risk management, allows executives to become more entrepreneurial by encouraging them to think more systematically about the future and helping them to profit from emerging opportunities. It is concluded that commitment is not merely a benign management obligation to safety culture. It should also be earned and driven by the very groups falling under its protection. Management commitment to establishing a thriving and pervasive safety culture will determine, in large part, whether an organization achieves its corporate goals.
