Abstract

Understanding what forces within institutions could affect safety practice implementation and safety performance is critical to changing organizations and ensuring safety. This is particularly true in the global aviation context, for which safety is the primary objective. In this dissertation, I explore the interactive effects of institutional pressures and internal fit on Safety Management Systems (SMS) implementation and safety performance in aviation organizations.
This research starts from a comprehensive literature review of four theories: institutional pressures, internal fit, SMS practice, and safety performance. Based on this review's observed performance and gaps, I propose theoretical models and hypotheses to investigate the interactive effects on practice fidelity and extensiveness implementation and quantitative and qualitative safety performance from the management perspective. A quantitative cross-sectional research design was adopted, and an online survey was developed and pretested. The sample was drawn from aviation organizations in the global setting. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method and the Causal Path Analysis technique were used to access the theoretical models.
The results highlight that while institutional pressures align with self-interest, self-interest positively affects organizational resource capability and SMS fidelity (establishment). In conflict situations, only institutional pressures impact SMS fidelity, and resource capability does not significantly impact SMS implementation. Moreover, SMS fidelity and resource capability fully mediate the relationship between interactive forces and SMS extensiveness in the alignment model. SMS fidelity alone fully mediates SMS extensiveness in the conflict model. SMS fidelity affects quantitative safety performance and safety culture. SMS extensiveness only directly impacts safety culture. Regulative pressures have a direct impact on quantitative safety performance, while non-regulative pressures do not have such a direct impact.
Understanding the effects of the interplay between institutional pressures and internal fit on SMS implementation and safety performance will advance SMS post-implementation and enhance regulatory policy establishment and practitioner practice implementation. These efforts will consequently improve safety performance, which is the prime objective of the global aviation community.
