An operational error (OE) results when an air traffic control specialist (ATCS) fails to maintain appropriate separation between aircraft, obstacles, etc. Recent research on OEs has focused on situational and individual characteristics (Center for Naval Analyses Corporation, 1995; Della Rocco, 1999; Rodgers, Mogford, Mogford, 1998). In this study, the relationship of organizational factors to en route OE rates was investigated, based on an adaptation of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS; Shappell & Wiegmann, 2000) to air traffic control as HFACS-ATC (Scarborough & Pounds, 2001). OE rates (errors per 100,000 operations) for 1997 and 2000 were obtained from the National Airspace Incident Monitoring System (NAIMS) for 21 air route traffic control centers (ARTCC). Organizational factors were represented by facility mean scores on scales constructed from 1997 and 2000 FAA Employee Attitude Survey (EAS) data. Factors included employee perceptions of equipment/facilities, performance management, overall job satisfaction, and perceptions of other human resources management practices. The supervisor-controller ratio (SCR) was calculated for each ARTCC by year from agency personnel data.
