Abstract

It has been observed that approximately 70% of aviation accidents are closely linked to human factors within the cockpit crew. To address this critical issue, the aviation industry has implemented CRM as an operational frameork. For the effective execution of CRM, it is vital for pilots to possess 5 non-technical skills. Among these, leadership and teamwork skills are crucial components, and it is not solely reliant on the captain's leadership but also influenced significantly by the quality of followership. Followership can be classified into various types, including pragmatic and exemplary followership, among others. This research hypothesized that these different followership types would have varying impacts on leadership and teamwork skill competency. The experimental results confirmed that the pragmatic followership was more conductive to enhancing leadership and teamwork skill competency compared to the exemplary followership. Furthermore, it was identified that pragmatic followership exhibited a slight tendency towards higher communication skill competencies in comparison to the exemplary followership.
