Attention is paid to the external determinants - such as the system of management of the State economy, the general political and social atmosphere and the legal basis for self-management. In its main part the paper deals with the internal organizational determinants, such as statutes, acting procedures, membership and personal qualities of the members. These factors sanction the formalization of self-government and thereby diminish its social importance. The paper is based on monographs of chosen self-managements though its author utilizes also results of other studies.
