Abstract:

Based on Self-Determination Theory, this study constructed an indicator system comprising 25 evaluation metrics across five dimensions(external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, integrated regulation, and intrinsic motivation) to investigate the multidimensional motivational composition and influencing mechanisms of aviation safety confidential reporting behavior among civil aviation practitioners. The objective is to optimize the effectiveness of confidential reporting systems and improve both the quantity and quality of reports. Through a combined methodology of questionnaire surveys and statistical analysis, the research empirically examined the influence of different motivational dimensions on reporting behavior among airline employees. The results demonstrate that:(1) the confidential safety reporting behavior among civil aviation personnel is significantly influenced by five distinct regulatory factors, revealing a sophisticated multi-level motivational framework that governs their reporting decisions and actions;(2) current reporting practices are predominantly driven by external regulation and introjected regulation mechanisms, while autonomous motivation forms—particularly identified regulation and intrinsic motivation—remain substantially underdeveloped, resulting in suboptimal outcomes in both reporting frequency and information quality;(3) a quality-oriented incentive mechanism, a non-punitive safety culture, and value guidance coupled with behavioral internalization constitute the key pathways for transforming employees' voluntary reporting behavior from passive compliance to active engagement. The findings reveal the complex interplay between controlled and autonomous motivations in influencing reporting behavior and highlight the need for organizations to develop targeted strategies that enhance autonomous motivations through systematic interventions. These include redesigning incentive structures to emphasize quality over quantity, fostering an organizational culture that genuinely values and acts upon safety reports without fear of reprisal, and implementing communication and training programs that help employees internalize the importance of reporting for safety improvement. Ultimately, these efforts will contribute to more effective safety management systems in the aviation industry through increased frequency and quality of confidential safety reports.
