Abstract

This study was carried out for the purpose to research the relationship between pilot’s leadership styles and crew resource management practices. The data obtained were collected from 104 pilots working at the airports in Istanbul by survey data collection method; 3 of them were deemed invalid and 101 questionnaires were tested in the SPSS'21 package program. Factor analysis was executed to test the validity and reliability of the scales and as a result of the normality analysis applied, spearmen correlation analysis was applied based on the assumption that the distribution was not normal; linear regression analysis was applied to test the effect hypothesis. As consequence of the regression analysis, ıt has been revealed that has a meaningful and positive effect on attitudes towards the cockpit management of the pilot's autocratic leadership style; on attitudes towards individual performance in stress, fatigue and emergency situations of democratic leadership style; on attitudes towards communication, coordination and teamwork of libertarian leadership style. It is thought that the study will contribute to the understanding of the "leadership approaches of pilots" in crew resource management practices and thus contribute to flight safety.
