Abstract

Pilots are highly susceptible to anxiety symptoms due to the uncertainty of the dangers of aviation operations and the potential terror and insecurity that pilots experience over time. This research aims to understand the complex relationship between the occupational stress and group anxiety symptoms of Chinese civil aviation pilots, and to analyze the type A behavior pattern (TABP) as a mediator for both issues. The occupational stress, anxiety symptoms and TABP of Chinese civil aviation pilots are investigated by using questionnaires based on the effort-reward-imbalance (ERI) scale, the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and a TABP scale established based on Chinese people’s inherent characteristics. The study revealed that higher occupational stress experienced by Chinese civil aviation pilots exacerbated their anxiety symptoms, and that overcommitment and TABP mediated the relationship between occupational stress and anxiety symptoms.
