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.
