Abstract

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between proactive personality, risk perception, and cognitive flexibility on the situational judgment of flying cadets. For this, we collected self-reported data from 222 civil flying cadets from the Civil Aviation Flight University of China. The obtained results show that proactive personality has both a direct effect and an indirect effect mediated by risk perception on flying cadets' situational judgment; furthermore, the direct effect was found to be moderated by cognitive flexibility. In particular, cognitive flexibility weakened the relationship between proactive personality and situational judgment among flying cadets. Managerial implications of this study and future research directions are presented and potential injury prevention efforts of flying cadets are discussed.
