摘要

The aviation industry faces ongoing operational risks, regulatory challenges, and sustainability pressures, necessitating the adoption of Safety Management Systems (SMS) as a structured framework for enhancing safety performance and long-term resilience. While SMS has been widely implemented, its effectiveness in driving sustainability outcomes remains underexplored, particularly in emerging aviation markets. This study examines the role of SMS components—safety policy, safety assurance, and safety promotion—in fostering sustainability while emphasizing risk management as an integral part of SMS. Grounded in the Resource-Based View (RBV), Systems Theory, Stakeholder Theory, Institutional Theory, and Contingency Theory, this study examines the interconnected role of SMS and risk management in promoting economic, environmental, and social sustainability in Jordan’s aviation industry. A structured survey was conducted with 142 aviation professionals across 11 Jordanian aviation companies, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to validate causal relationships. The findings confirm that the implementation of SMS significantly enhances sustainability, particularly in terms of operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder trust. While risk management is vital in strengthening safety governance, its direct impact on sustainability appears to be context-dependent, reinforcing the need for a more integrated approach where risk management is fully embedded within Safety Management Systems (SMS). These insights contribute to the broader aviation safety and policy literature by providing a refined conceptualization of Safety Management Systems (SMS) and risk management within the framework of sustainability. The study provides actionable recommendations for aviation regulators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to enhance Safety Management Systems (SMS) frameworks and risk governance strategies, ultimately fostering a safer, more resilient, and sustainable aviation industry.
