Abstract

Military pilots can play important roles in saving aviation fuel by operating aircraft in an environmentally sustainable manner. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study investigates the factors associated with cargo pilots’ fuel-saving intentions during logistics missions. We collected 108 survey responses, including 62 from the United States Air Force (USAF) and 46 from the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) using the survey data show partial support for the relationships between three antecedents (attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) and behavioral intention. Contrary to existing studies involving TPB, which are mostly about personal choices with some degree of freedom, the results suggest that the impact of subjective norms is greater than that of attitude in this study context, which can be explained by the rigid military culture and strict air traffic control including specific routes, altitudes, and speeds mandated by Air Combat Command. The theoretical and practical contributions of this study provide insights into how subjective norms influence intentions across different contexts, extending the applicability of TPB to industries with rigid organizational cultures and tight operational controls, such as the airline industry.

了解军事飞行员支持后勤任务的节油意图
军事飞行员可以通过以环境可持续的方式操作飞机,在节约航空燃料方面发挥重要作用。本研究以计划行为理论(TPB)为基础,探讨了货运飞行员在执行后勤任务时节油意愿的相关因素。我们收集了 108 份调查问卷,其中 62 份来自美国空军(USAF),46 份来自大韩民国空军(ROKAF)。使用调查数据进行的确认因素分析(CFA)和结构方程建模(SEM)显示,三个前因因素(态度、主观规范和感知行为控制)与行为意向之间的关系得到了部分支持。与涉及 TPB 的现有研究(这些研究大多涉及具有一定自由度的个人选择)相反,研究结果表明,在本研究背景下,主观规范的影响大于态度的影响,这可以用僵化的军事文化和严格的空中交通管制(包括空中作战司令部规定的特定航线、高度和速度)来解释。本研究在理论和实践方面的贡献在于,它深入揭示了主观规范如何影响不同情境下的意向,并将主观规范理论的适用范围扩展到了航空业等组织文化僵化、运营控制严格的行业。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Air Transport Management (JATM) sets out to address, through high quality research articles and authoritative commentary, the major economic, management and policy issues facing the air transport industry today. It offers practitioners and academics an international and dynamic forum for analysis and discussion of these issues, linking research and practice and stimulating interaction between the two. The refereed papers in the journal cover all the major sectors of the industry (airlines, airports, air traffic management) as well as related areas such as tourism management and logistics. Papers are blind reviewed, normally by two referees, chosen for their specialist knowledge. The journal provides independent, original and rigorous analysis in the areas of: • Policy, regulation and law • Strategy • Operations • Marketing • Economics and finance • Sustainability
