Simulation is a powerful technique in evaluating and improving the performance of complex systems. In order to improve the efficiency of simulation experiment design, analysis and evaluation, auxiliary tools are required. Unfortunately, existing tools are usually not meeting the requirements of simulation. Moreover, the restricted interfaces, reusability and expandability influence their efficiency to a certain extent. In this paper, an integrated software environment, HIT-SEDAES, is designed for solving these problems. A process model of simulation experiment design, analysis and evaluation is introduced to guide the development of the software environment. And several solutions are proposed to solve key problems in this development. Finally, an application is used to illustrate how the software environment works for the problems of model validation, effectiveness evaluation and performance analysis.

Traditionally, research on job insecurity (JI) has focused on organizational consequences and employees’ psychophysical well-being. However, some recent studies explored potential extraorganizational outcomes of JI in relation to consumption and major life decisions. The present study, drawing on Conservation of Resource Theory, overcomes the limits of previous works by examining the effects of changes in JI through a simulation experiment design. Using a sequence of two different scenarios, 377 participants were asked to evaluate their JI and their inclination towards daily consumption and some major life decisions. Findings confirm that changes in JI affect such extraorganizational outcomes. It is also suggested that an improvement in job security leads to an increase in both consumption and major life decisions, which – in absolute values – is higher compared to the decrease that follows a reduction of job security.
