"Achieving safety, efficiency and customer satisfaction benefits requires a focus on human performance from the start to the end of the process and subsequently in day-to-day aircraft operations and maintennace. Understanding and managing human performance is critical for the future of Air Traffic Management(ATM). No matter how advanced the concepts and systems become, humans will be on centre stage as the decision makers, and human performance will remain the key driver of ATM performance. ‘Human error’ is really just a by-product of normal variability in human performance. This same variability allows humans to keep the air traffic moving and to recover from near disasters. The key lies in ensuring that the system is safe by design and that performance variability is properly handled in both design and management. The Microclass on Human Factors in Aviation with a focus on organizational behavior provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between human factors and organizational dynamics within the aviation industry. This course delves into the psychological, social, and managerial aspects that shape behavior within aviation organizations, ultimately impacting safety, efficiency, and overall performance."

Objectives

• To emphasize the importance of Human Factors which influence the individual behaviour in their organizations in Aviaiton Sector.
• To understand how effective leadership fosters trust, engagement, and commitment among employees, while poor leadership can result in disengagement, resistance to change, and turnover.
