AbstractThe objective of this study is to test a mediation model in which safety motivation and self-efficacy mediate the relationship between perfectionism and situational judgment in Chinese civil flying cadets. We collected self-reported data from 218 civil flying cadets from Civil Aviation Flight University of China. The results show that concern over mistakes and personal standards have direct effects on flying cadets' situational judgment. Concern over mistakes, parental expectation and organization have indirect effects on flying cadets’ situational judgment through safety motivation; whereas concern over mistakes and parental criticism have indirect effects through self-efficacy. Managerial implications of the study as well as the future research directions are discussed.

    HighlightsSeveral components of perfectionism show direct effects on the flying cadets’ situational judgment.Some components display indirect effects on the flying cadets’ situational judgment via safety motivation and self-efficacy.More efforts for aviation safety campaigns should be aimed at adopting psychological selection and training.
