In its 66 years of history, the company Aerolíneas Argentinas has been privatized in 1991 and re-nationalized in 2008. When the State reassumed the company’s direction, it started to develop various corporate policies, some of them rooted in the company’s tradition and others rather novel. In previous works, we have identified that the current corporate policies are defined in terms of the Continuous Improvement perspective. In the case of Aerolíneas Argentinas labor rhythms intensification and costs reduction are organized through two elements: quality and security. We have identified that the so called ‘Operational Security Culture’ goes through the group of corporate policies in Aerolíneas Argentinas and it spreads out values and specific tasks that workers must assume. In this sense, there’s a series of devices that the company sets in two directions: one related to training and the other to monitoring systems. The aim of this article is to analyze the relation among the so called ‘Operational Security Culture’ and a double circulation of knowledge between the company and the workers. To do so, we will focus on a relevant secondary source: the corporate journal ‘CoOrdenadas’ which is specifically directed to the company workers.

Keywords : Corporate policy; Security Culture; Continuous Improvement.
