Summary/Abstract: Purpose – This study aims to ferret the association between perceived safety climate and information technology productivity in aviation sector Design/methodology/approach – The data is collected from aircraft maintenance engineers and technicians working for different companies via random sample method using online survey form. Appropriately filled 228 forms are decided to be ıncluded in the analyses. Confirmatory and Exploratory Factor Analyses are conducted for the construct validation of the scales. Then, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis is performed to test our hypothesis. Findings – Analyses show that the scales have construct validity and perceived safety climate (with its two dimensions) significantly increases information technology productivity.
