Abstract:

Job is one of the most important issues in the discussion of human resources, and since the discussion of job stress in the flight crew and its relationship with the performance of the flight crew is very important and vital. This research is about recognizing and developing a model for job stress among the cabin crew of Mahan Airline. The qualitative research methodology has been followed by qualitative inductive approach and grounded theory, that is the common approach in this case. The population of this research has two sections; the first section includes the new related scientific documents from 10 to 20 texts that are collected by using targeted approach until achieving domination criteria. Inductive qualitative content analysis method was applied for analyzing the specialized texts that are related to the research. The second population contains the whole flight crew of Mahan Airline Company. The research sample is chosen by using targeted and snowball method and by 37 items has been reached to theoretical saturation. The data are gathered by Semi-structured approach and they are analyzed by Straws & Corbin(1998) systematic analysis method. A total of 260 opening codes and 19 axial codes were extracted, which were categorized into 5 selected codes. as a result the job stress model of Mahan Airline flight crew is established and then is validated by focus group. The results show that the established pattern for job stress has five main aspects including the job stress nature, appearing job stress, the sources and conditions of job stress, reaction to job stress and consequences of job stress, and there is connection among them.

Airlines’ Crew Pairing Optimization: A Brief Review

In most airlines, crew costs are the second largest direct operation cost next to the fuel costs. But unlike the fuel costs, a considerable portion of the crew costs can be saved through optimized utilization of the internal resources of an airline company. And the saving is largely realized through solving the crew pairing problem. This paper aims to give a brief review of the fundamental crew...

Increasing Stability of Crew Schedules in Airlines

In airline traffic disruptions occur frequently and cannot be totally avoided. They may lead to infeasible aircraft and crew schedules during the day of operations, due to absence of resources or violation of crew rules. The process of finding new schedules in such cases is called recovery or disruption management. The short-term recovery actions usually imply additional costs meaning that the ...
