The research proved that successful private owners-entrepreneurs, the capital-owners, have different structure of life objectives comparing to both: managers and specialists in public organizations. The basic idea is this process can be considered as inseparable part of economic growth adn managemnet in any organization. Since the entrepreneurs invested their private capital to realize their ideas, it is logical that they want their capital to be increased. On the other hand, managers and specialists in public enterprises do not have such a great sense for capital increment. They rather share the capital preferring to be sociable (clubs sponsors, great humanitarians). The reason of such acting can be found in a fact that Serbia was influenced by socialism which further resulted in poor education of managers and specialists to change their way of thinking.
