Abstract

It is usually assumed that project work requires as well as enables selforganization and goes hand in hand with increased recognition and appreciation. We investigate this hypothesis by means of a quantitative survey of more than 1000 employees from research and development in nine German mechanical engineering companies. A multivariate regression analysis shows that increased self-organization at the team level leads to more perceived recognition among employees. It is important here to distinguish ‘real’ from merely ‘superficial’ self-organization. In addition to team sovereignty, the length of time worked for the company, the level of qualification and the gender of the employees also have a significant influence on perceived recognition. Basically, it can be stated that the companies examined by us approach team-based self-organization only hesitantly and that so-called self-organization is heteronomously organized to a high degree.
