This paper evaluates the low job satisfaction can be raised to better job satisfaction by taking time with what was discovered during the simulation of the Airdevils. The owner Casey was concerned when her numbers were staying low and her employees’ job satisfaction was low. Mrs. Casey felt that at first it was because of how many new people were at Airdevils however after taking surveys, reading blogs, and listening to the staff a little closer we are learning just why there is low job satisfaction. We will address the different scenarios and what each one thought of what is right and what is wrong. “Job satisfaction is, without a doubt, one of the most heavily studied topics in organizational psychology” (Jex & Britt, 2008).

The organization budget for the Intervention plan was $150,000 for Dreamworks. Being mindful of the budget, we will stay below the cost and get the best results for the Airdevils organization. We chose: training in other stunts for $49,400, so that the performers would be allowed to broaden their horizons with other areas of stunts, Improve Job Design for, $45,600, so that each person knows what is expected of them and there is no overlapping of roles and responsibilities this will decrease others feeling obligated to do others responsibilities, Allo
