Summary       The study aimed to explore the factors that affect the driving behavior of bus drivers. From the viewpoints of individual and organization, this study combined the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with the concept of safety climate to assess the aberrant driving behaviors of bus drivers under the safety management of corporate governance. Through literature review, a questionnaire with several measuring scale were developed and a survey was conducted to collect 726 effective samples of bus driver.
      The study results show that attitude, group norm, perceived behavioral control and safety climate have different effect on aberrant driving behavior of bus drivers. Drivers were prone to situations such as unmaintained distance and fatigue driving. Moreover, drivers who are young or work more than ten hours tend to drive more improperly. As to the corporate safety policy governance, drivers’ working scheduling and internal communication are the important factors that affect the driving behaviors of bus drivers, which should be emphasized and improved. The study results can assist the government authorities to formulate policies and labor conditions about working hours, and help bus carriers to review the safety-related management systems
