An executive aircraft is performing an approach to aerodrome A in bad weather. The conditions mean the pilot must divert to aerodrome B. However, the passenger, who is part of senior management in your company, insists that the pilot lands at aerodrome A. What could this be an example of if the pilot is conditioned to obey authority and continue the approach to aerodrome A?
Safety Culture is the way safety is perceived, valued and prioritised in an organisation. It reflects the real commitment to safety at all levels in the organisation. It has also been described as "how an organisation behaves when no one is watching". National cultural values can impact safety culture and worker safety behaviours.
Over the past several years, many studies have been conducted on the influence of national culture in the workplace. These studies focused on a number of dimensions, but primarily sought to answer whether people will first act in the interest of what their national culture expects of them, or first act in the interest of maintaining a safe work environment.
