  "abstract": "<p>This study is devoted to members&rsquo; perception of several important issues of co-operatives: leadership, members&rsquo; motivation, knowledge and skills and the role of the state. The research was conducted in Serbia and encompassed 228 members of 11 co-operatives. For the needs of the research a questionnaire with 1-5 response Likert-type scale was made. The hypotheses were proved by a chi-squared test and Pearson&rsquo;s coefficient of linear correlation was used for the analysis of the connectivity of variables. The research has shown that according to the perception of the members of co- operatives leadership is necessary for a successful running a co-operative and co-operative development. Co-operative members would like to work closely with the co-operative and realize their income under equal market conditions through their co-operative. Furthermore, it is shown that appropriate knowledge and skills are needed for administrative and professional activities. The last researched issue according to members&rsquo; perception is that the co-operative system in Serbia is not adequate or sufficiently supported by the state.</p>",
