Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Stress is an everyday reality in the aviation scenario. Stress is an insidious threat to aviation safety because of the impairments in alertness and performance it creates. Anyone can be affected by stress, but the extent to which we experience stress depends on our life-style. Exercise is an appropriate strategy for physical fitness, prevention and coping with stress. This research compares occupational stressors between athlete and non- athlete flight attendants in 2 Iranian’s airlines. In this regard, by reviewing previous researches and interviewing with aviation experts, 33 occupational stressor variables based on speilberger job stress questionnaire (1984) were identified. The validity of the questionnaire was approved by the 19 experts and the reliability was determined by cronbach’s alpha coefficient (r=0.97). Questionnaires were distributed among the flight attendants in 4 airports. Independent T test was used to compare occupational stressors between athlete and non-athlete flight attendants. The results showed that there is significance difference in organizational and managerial occupational stressors between athlete and non-athlete flight attendants.
