Heinrich's 1:29:300 rule explains that serious accidents occur due to repeated warning signals or unmanaged risks.While the current aviation accident rate is low, major accidents still cause social and economic damage, making accident prevention crucial.However, the annual average number of voluntary aviation safety reports in Korea is approximately 200, a low rate compared to the United States.Therefore, this study conducted an empirical analysis of aviation workers' willingness to voluntarily report, aiming to promote voluntary reporting.The results showed that perceptions of voluntary reporting significantly influenced willingness to report, and that national, organizational, and situational factors all directly and indirectly influenced willingness to report.Furthermore, factors influencing voluntary reporting varied by occupation, with air traffic controllers having no significant influence.Furthermore, group differences based on reporting experience were observed.
Son et al. (2026) studied this question.
