Liderança tóxica e segurança no cockpit: um estudo sobre a percepção dos pilotos em operações aéreas privadas ou nas não regulares

Abstract

This article discusses pilots' perceptions of toxic leadership and safety in the cockpit, identifies characteristics of an authoritarian leader and the influence he has in the cockpit. It also brings approaches that can offer support to mitigate this type of leadership in aviation. The data collected by digital form and pilots of different age groups and operations (private, non-regular, regular, military and public security), showed that most pilots, especially in private and non-regular operations, report positive aspects about their leaders. The main conclusions reveal that toxic leadership is a shallow reality today.
