\nSelf-management is a social and economic organization system where the people who carry out an activity are the same as those who manage that business.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That is, in a self-managed company the workers have absolute powers to make decisions and control the institution.<\/p>\n

Self-management etymologically means self-management. Thus, other fields outside of economics can be applied, such as politics, cooperation and sociology. <\/p>\n

Due to its origin and explanation, it is usually related to socialist and Marxist thought. In fact, the anarchist idea of \u200b\u200bself-management took on greater significance from 1950 as a widespread practice in Yugoslavia. It was then carried out as a general system of organization at all levels of the State. <\/p>\n

Self-management is closely related to areas of plurality and deconcentration. So, if it lacks adequate planning, it can generate duplication of functions (two people or areas performing the same task) and inefficiency in the use of resources.<\/p>\n

It should also be noted that there are forms of organization that assimilate parameters or characteristics of self-management and that can be framed in the capitalist and liberal environment. We refer to the autonomous entrepreneur or sole proprietorship, family businesses, or large social cooperatives.<\/p>\n

Business self-management and in other areas<\/h2>\n

Self-management is the organizational system of a company whereby workers participate in all general decisions. In this way, employees are able to carry out administration, production, self-assessment and self-enforcement tasks. In addition, they own part of the capital stock of the firm and, therefore, participate in the profits of the business.<\/p>\n

Self-management is a concept that has been initially implemented in the company and business area. However, it has spread to other fields such as psychology, education, computing, associations, among others. <\/p>\n

This organizational modality means that the role of coordination and cooperation between agents is prioritized over hierarchies and power relations. In other words, in self-management, the same individuals act as administrators and as operatives independently.<\/p>\n

Advantages of self-management<\/h2>\n

Among the benefits of self-management are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Autonomy:<\/strong> It refers to the ability of the worker to make their decisions and function individually. This helps to develop personal autonomy and to accomplish tasks without the need for superior orders.<\/li>\n
  • Performance:<\/strong> Self-management allows the worker to carry out their tasks according to their possibilities, without the need for external pressure or an established time limit.<\/li>\n
  • Commitment:<\/strong> The worker, through self-management, can develop a higher level of commitment. This feeling stems from the fact that all employees bear more responsibility for the success or failure of the company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Disadvantages of self-management<\/h2>\n

    However, self-management also has some disadvantages:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Inefficiency: <\/strong>If workers do not have administrative knowledge, inefficiencies can be generated in the management of the company. Those who run a business need to have some basic information, such as accounting and finance.<\/li>\n
    • Lack of direction:<\/strong> In the absence of a management team that heads the company, decision-making can be complicated. This, because all the workers of the firm must agree.<\/li>\n
    • Anarchy:<\/strong> By gaining autonomy, each employee could act on their own, leaving aside the common objectives for the company. This can cause disorder within the organization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
