The Implementation of Leadership Styles to Build a Health and Safety Culture in Airlines

Term Paper , 2021 , 26 Pages , Grade: A+

The paper deals with the implementation of leadership styles to build a health and safety culture in airlines. Airlines are high-reliability organisations (HRO) evolving in an ultra-competitive and regulated environment where market differentiation is challenging (e.g., a limited option of original equipment manufacturers (OEM), routes) and thin profit margins. Often they are defined by their business models (i.e., legacy carrier (LC) or low-cost carrier (LCC)).

Because the industry is in perpetual motion and is publicly visible as most airlines care about their brand image, the slightest mismatch could result in financial, operational, and safety disasters. The types of leadership impact the success and culture of the organisation.
