Abstract

Stress has considerable potential to affect individuals. Humans mostly reflect their own stress on their work, family, environment and personal lives. Stress is a kind of risk source since it creates differentiated reactions to stimuli, and stress has considerable potential to affect our motivation level, as motivation is of critical importance to individual performance. Individual performance creates organizational performance, therefore stress must be managed by managers to sustain business. We present a considerable topic in this part as Critical Event Stress Management. As members of the aviation industry, we are also risk managers since even small mistakes may create disasters and our error free behavior according to established procedures may save many lives.
