INTRODUCTION Research has suggested that work as a flight attendant may be related to increased risk for reproductive health effects. Air cabin exposures that may influence reproductive health include radiation dose from galactic cosmic radiation and solar particle events. This paper describes the assessment of radiation dose accrued during solar particle events as part of a reproductive health...

The purpose of this study is to examine the mechanism underpinning relationship between perceived supervisor support, organisational and service-oriented citizenship behaviour. data was collected from 250 flight attendants working in airline companies, structural equation model modelling using M-plus 7.0 employed test hypotheses. This research provides evidence for association psychological emp...

1 I S it my imagination or are flight attendants getting older? Observational data based on many trips abroad, almost all in the service of gerontology, tell me that the answer is yes. However, an understanding of societal demographic transitions tells me another story, one of population aging writ small: fewer entry-level flight attendants in a contracting airline industry, increasing the prop...

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and work–family interface have attracted considerable scientific interest; however, their relationship has not been considered yet. Drawing on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study fills gap by examining between internal CSR work to family spillover. While most previous studies widely examined net effect a single dimension, discovers config...

In a previous article (Chute & Wiener, 1995), we explored the coordination between the "two cultures" in an airliner's crew: cockpit and cabin. In this article, we discuss a particular problem: the dilemma facing the cabin crew when they feel that they have safety-critical information and must decide whether to take it to the cockpit. We explore the reasons for the reluctance of the flight atte...

all in-flight medical emergencies. This may be redundant because each airline’s medical department keeps a record of emergencies and their outcome. If an emergency can be stabilized sufficiently to allow the flight to proceed without diversion, it saves the airline money, and for this reason if no other, there is a strong motivation to provide a truly useful kit. The authors also recommended a ...
