Abstract: In order to explore the competency factors of civil aviation security personnel, based on the existing competency models, the competency factors of civil aviation security personnel were collected by referring to literature,analyzing the duties of security personnel and structured interviews. A questionnaire survey was carried out and data were collected. A competency model was built for civil aviation security personnel through the factor analysis. The model includes 4 first-class indicators consisting of knowledge, ability, personal characteristics and values, and 23 second-class indicators, such as laws and regulations, ability of analysis and judgment, self-confidence and safety awareness and others. The validity of the model was verified by using the structural equation model. The results show that among the four factors influencing the competency of civil aviation security personnel, the ability factor has the greatest influence on the competency, and the others are the knowledge, personal characteristics and values in sequence.

Key words: civil aviation, security personnel, competency model, factor analysis, structural equation model(SEM)
