Abstract

In my study, I seek to shed light on the relationship between cooperative culture and cooperative governance structure in the agricultural cooperative. Its dual nature defines it as a specific business organization, combining both enterprise (business orientation) and a group/ community of members/ cooperative actors (social/ community/ group). As such, it has a specific cooperative governance structure, over which the cooperative culture has a key influence and is a significant factor for its effective functioning. This, in turn, is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of the cooperative. As the agricultural cooperative is a type of cooperative, the considerations and conclusions for the general type are valid for the specific one as well.
