This paper describes the validation effort, using factor analysis, of a safety culture survey for aviation operations based on the five-factor model suggested by Wiegmann, Zhang, von Thaden, Sharma, and Mitchell (2002). The original model did not fit as well as hypothesized, so further analyses were conducted to identify specific areas of misalignment. Results from these analyses and respondent comments informed a conceptual revision of the survey, which suggests that a hierarchical model containing four main factors and eleven subfactors may be more appropriate. Issues identified include the need to account for the atypical structure of management-employee relationships in airlines. A revised version of the survey, following the revised model, is presented.
