ABSTRACT

The evolution of organizations with practical objectives reflects an extremely important tendency in the evolution of society as a whole. The tasks and problems of major social transformations often consist, in fact, in carrying them to the concrete organizational level where the primary processes of labor and social interaction take place. The refraction of societal relations in intra-organizational relations is a complex problem. The most important means for surmounting the boundaries between social groups and improving the interaction between the managing and managed subsystems of an organization is to develop socialist self-management, which unifies effective management in the industrial and in the social spheres. Socialist self-management strengthens the interaction between the managing and managed subsystems and their interpenetration, thereby strengthening the cohesiveness of the collective and making the organization as a whole more manageable. The subject of participation may be social organizations, as well as individual workers or groups.
