METODS: data were collected from a survey of 36 companies belonging to the Macedonian manufacturing industry. A hypothesis testing was carried out with a quantitative method and statistical analysis of data.

More precisely, employee participation and empowerment programs, and the use of self-managing teams have a direct and statistically significant correlation to the managerial perception of the organizational performance.
