Abstract

For the sake of exploring influences of perceived organizational support (POS) on safety management performance (SMP), and improving the level of SMP, the connotation indicators of POS and SMP in Airlines were set up, and the hypothesis model of POS and SMP was proposed. The 280 workers in 12 Airlines in China were enquired by means of questionnaires and the structural equation model (SEM) was used to verify the hypothesis. Results show that there is a significant positive correlation of the organizational identification of employee's value with safety policy & target, safety risk management, safety supervision & measurement, safety culture, safety education & training, and downtrend of safety accidents. The organizational care of employee's benefit is positively related to safety education & training, and the organizational support of employee's work is also positively related to safety policy & objectives, and change of unsafe incidents. In safety management, the Airlines can improve their POS, especially organizational identification of staff value, to achieve high SMP.
