RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the job satisfaction status and its influencing factors in civil aviation pilots in a domestic airline. METHODS: A total of 422 civil aviation pilots of an airline were selected by the stratified random sampling method and investigated by Civil Aviation Pilots' Job Satisfaction Scale. Their job satisfaction situation and influencing factors were analyzed. RESULTS: The total score of job satisfaction of research objects was( 3. 0 ± 0. 5). The median and the quartile of the work arrangement,physical environment,salary and relationship with colleague were 2. 0( 1. 2),2. 2( 1. 0),3. 4( 1. 0) and 4. 0( 1. 0) respectively. The results of ordered multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the salary satisfaction in pilots with length of service over 10. 0 years was higher than that of pilots with service length over1. 0 year( P < 0. 05),while the satisfaction of physical environment and work arrangement in pilots with service length over10. 0 years were lower than those with service length over 1. 0 year( P < 0. 01). The salary satisfaction of captain and captain instructors were higher than that of pilots and copilots( P < 0. 05),while the satisfaction of physical environment and work arrangement captain and captain instructors were lower than that of pilots and copilots( P < 0. 05). The satisfaction of work arrangement in married pilots was lower than that of unmarried pilots( P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The marital status,service length and job title were the major influencing factors of job satisfaction in civil aviation pilots.
RESUMO
Objective To develop a willpower scale for Chinese civil pilots.Methods 695 civil aviation pilots were collected by stratified random sampling based method on different positions.Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to analyzed the data and tested the reliability and validity of scale.Results The scale consisted of 16 items and 4 dimensions (pressure resistance,self-control,insist and decisiveness).4 dimensions explained 59.978% of the total variance.The Cronbach's α coefficient of full scale was 0.800,and the Cronbach's α coefficient of each factors were from 0.715 to 0.783.Coefficient of stability of the scale was beyond 0.805 (P<0.01).The correlation coefficient among each dimensions were from 0.050 to 0.366 (P<0.01),and the coefficient between each dimensions and the total score were from 0.565 to 0.699(P<0.01) and criterion validity of the questionnaire was 0.655 (P<0.01).Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fitting effect of the four factors model was optimal (GFI=0.909,IFI=0.948,TLI=0.934,CFI=0.946,RMSEA=0.054).Conclusion The scale meets the requirements of psychological surveying,and it can be used as an effective tool for willpower of Chinese civil pilots.
