Motivation and Job Satisfaction Amongst Pilots in the Civil Aviation Industry in India

The objective of the present study was to find out the critical factors for motivation and job satisfaction and to study the extent of these factors present in Civil-Aviation pilots. Owing to the fact that before one sets out for the survey he/she should have a thorough knowledge of the topic he/she is assigned with, as a survey person, the researcher spent considerable time in studying the factors and work situations involved in a pilot's job. Respondent's interaction was with the help of a questionnaire. Findings revealed that pilots are in the flight operations management based on flying experience and have no clue about administration and management leading to disgruntlement among other pilots. Hence there must be proper parameters and training involved before selecting pilots to manage flight operations.
