After reviewing the history and current practice of self-management in Yugoslavia, we examine net effects on work satisfaction from being a self-management delegate, a manager or supervisor, or the owner of a private business, along with other variables. Data are from a 1983 probability sample in the most industrialized of Yugoslavia's six republics. Consistent with U.S. studies, older, more educated, female workers, those in the majority ethnic group, and nonmanual supervisors are more satisfied; the effects of age and education are indirect, through income. However, occupational prestige has no effect, and owners, managers, and manual supervisors are no more satisfied than workers. Delegates are highly satisfied, but further results suggest that satisfaction with work (or with self-management) leads to service as a delegate more than the reverse
