The paper is devoted to the possibilities of applying team organization in agricultural sector enterprises in Slovakia. The success of applying the team organization is subject to a number of internal and external factors. To the most important internal factors we include the team leader’s personality, value orientation of team members and team uniformity. The most important external factors are the company focusing, its organizational structure and corporate culture.
Applying the team organization in present practices has been pointed out in the conditions of research and development in places, where creative work is used especially in innovative processes. In the developed countries in progressive production, services and state administration the team organization is not only the matter of theory, it is a certain practical activity as well. Even in Slovakia the interested employees apply the team organization in solving crucial problems.
