Abstract: In order to reduce unsafe behaviors caused by work stress and decrease the probability of airport security incidents, studies were carried out to investigate the relationship between work stress and unsafe behaviors of airport security staff. Firstly, 692 valid questionnaires were collected from an airport in China, and by using factor analysis method seven major factors that affect staff work stress were obtained. Secondly, fifteen hypotheses were put forward to build up the relationship model between work stress and unsafe behaviors with these factors as middle variables. Finally, the model was verified and modified by using SEM. The results show that work stress is positively related with unsafe behaviors; career development, self-efficacy, organizational climate, work characteristics and interpersonal relations are negatively related with work stress while role stress and work-family conflict are positively related with it; what is more, interpersonal relations, career development and self-efficacy are negatively related with unsafe behaviors.
