Research Abstract

This research located within context of the methodological individualism (subjectivism) had the following results.
(1) Our attempt to grasp the basic changes in individual life-consciousness as <individualization> and to decompose into such sub-concepts as <self-actualization>, <life-orientation>, <privatization> and <pluralistic participation> and to indicate them, makes possible deeper understanding of the whole life spaces, where people live in everyday, as reference axis of orientation.
(2) The differences in sex would be found in some types of individualization. In administrative organizations self-actualization is more marked in male than in female members and pluralistic participation more in female.
(3) Individualization does not always show the increase in younger members, that is, self-actualization more increases in thirties, life-orientation in twenties and thirties, privatization in twenties and pluralistic participation in thirties and forties.
(4) Self-actualization is more predominant in enterprises and differences in ages identified in self-actualization and pluralistic participation. And self- actualization more increases in enterprises and life-orientation in both organizations, especially more in enterprises.
(5) Relations between individualization and systems introduced does no match in pairs. The same system answers to several orientations, complex correspondance considered.
(6) The concept <individualization>, however necessary to be more crystaleized, would be available as a tool of understanding and analyzing the societal changes as well as the changing organizations.
