Apply Fuzzy Factor Analysis in Aviation Ground Staff Occupational Stress Indicator Classify

Abstract:

The analysis for occupational stress of source has gathered great importance in recent year. Using traditional factor analysis to divide different preference was difficult. The data from questionnaire was vagueness and uncertainty. After using fuzzy factor analysis, the result of data can find new 12 factors in 61 attributes. There have more explanation to contain attributes then traditional factor analysis. Thus, fuzzy factor analysis can render classification of occupational stress indicator reasonable and acceptable than if the traditional method.
