D.Improving Organizational PerformanceThis paper is founded on a simulation that aids students in comprehending motives that can lead to employees being displeased in the workplace. This paper will summarize four stages in the simulation and narration of the conditions, a suggested resolution that includes statistics, and their outcomes. This paper will also discuss the organizational psychology theories discussed in the simulation by addressing the subsequent subjects; methods used to broaden productivity among employees through motivation; awareness of human behavior; cognition, and actions used to increase kinships in the workplace, and ways organizations may lessen stressors in the organizational setting for workers.
Four Phases in the SimulationThe first stage of the simulation involved deciding what the main cause of dissatisfaction was among the stunt performers at Airdevils Inc. The simulation offered a variety of means to examine and define what the primary reasons were for job dissatisfaction, and upon examining the acquired facts it was determined the main reason for job dissatisfaction was the absence of simulating challenges in the workers job profiles.
Suggesting resolutions to aid the organization in producing flexibility within the establishment and reconstructing job satisfaction levels was the next step introduced into the simulation. The goal was to maintain a budget of 150,000 dollars, and it was recommended the total be 149,314. These were the subsequent intercessions that were proposed in order to produce a pliable organizational setting and improve job satisfaction. Suggestions included permitting workers to engage in open competitions, rotation in industry meets, being educated in other areas of stunt work, and performance based incentives. This advice was given to support making the establishment more pliable. These suggestions were more likely to help the organization reach its goals.
Permitting workers to engage in open contests would assist them in becoming better performers, and increase the levels of job satisfaction. Educating drivers in other areas of stunt work promotes growth within the establishment, therefore producing an organization that is pliable (Jex & Britt, 2008). The following suggestions made job satisfaction and performance at Airdevils Inc. better. By presenting workers with performance based incentives and allowing workers the opportunity to earn more income and increase their performance levels.
The next objective was to name three individuals to take part in an unconventional group that would be instrumental in producing modernize stunt plans for the regular consumers of the establishment. These individuals would have the capabilities to expand the organizations efforts to meet and exceed the needs of its consumers. However, there was conflicting styles and emotional instability among the three participants chosen to take a part in the simulation, and this group was defined as being a defective group, due to the conflict of personalities among the group members. When selecting individuals to take part in a group setting it is important to select individuals with like dispositions and demeanors, as well as the traits of each member should possess a high absolute skill level, and have high emotional abilities (Jex & Britt, 2008).
Hollywood
The world of Hollywood in any number of directions. We will discuss themes and ideas from our previous interviews, especially the “In the Hollywood” segments in the film. For instance, we will discuss “R.L. Stine’s Manhood” which was filmed at the Los Angeles Convention Center and which was inspired by the 1960s movie starring John Huston, the director of The Hills. We will also discuss the most recent films such as, “Unbroken” which is based on the popular 1980s comic book series, and “King Kong” which was a sequel to the 1992 film, “Gigantic” which has been a popular feature film, based on the 1999 TV movie “The Great Escape.” We will discuss the more recent films and also discuss the most popular films: “The Twilight Zone” by Steven Spielberg, “Blindspot” by John Hughes, “Bomber’s Run” by J. Paul Getty, “Dazed and Confused” by Bob Fosse, “Citizen Kane” by Paul Schrader, “The Shining” by James Daldry, “Losing My Mind” by Steve Jenson and “Bones” by Ray Fawcett-Smith (both starring John Candy). In previous interviews we will discuss how the films have portrayed the world and the actors. Our first goal was to use the audience members’ opinions about them as an objective that could be utilized to further convey a message that is similar to Hollywood’s message. It was important that our audience members chose “it to me” when it was presented in a meaningful way. We will also use the audience members’ feelings to present the message that would have been needed by the audience. For example, it was important not to tell the audience that their opinions are different, or that the audience member was less of a “good listener” than a “good person.” We will also use different people as individuals. This will help establish the group as a cohesive part of our project. We will create a story where one person will be part of the group and the other is the individual who is part of an alternative group.
“In the Hollywood”: “Hollywood, the Hollywood I love to watch… and I am going away.”
“In the movie”: “You must kill me all day long.”
“In the film”: ‘You will never find an alternate viewpoint for your life.'”
In the movie”: “This is a wonderful job, but I have to start saving my house, because the only job I will ever be is to work there. It looks like something could be better for me at work. I love this. So far I have been saved by a wife, but I think that even if I don’t like it, it could be the best job in the world. It would be so wonderful if this was done for the women that actually do it. There would be so many wonderful things that can happen with their lives, and I hope we are getting to where we are now where we need to be a lot better before making that happen again.”

The final objective was to propose different standards that would be instrumental in decreasing absenteeism as well as reducing stress levels among workers. There was an increasing problem with absenteeism among the stunt professionals and it was beginning to have an unfavorable impression on the organization. The crew supervisor produced data that presented the primary reason for absenteeism among crew members was high stress levels. The simulation introduced the following standards to discuss the mention concerns; implementing a code of conduct, biofeedback training, changing the team structure, permitting pliable work schedules, placing temps into permanent positions within the organization, and making available stress-inoculation training. The purpose of developing a code of conduct would be to introduce ground rules for employees to follow and educating them about the consequences when the rules are not adhered to. Biofeedback training would provide directions about reducing physical stressors and decreasing the amount of sick days taken that are associated with illnesses related to high levels of physical stress in the organizational setting.
