The aim of this paper is to present several selected management concepts that support self-organizing teams. The chosen concepts are agile project management, teal organization, holacracy and sociocracy, and the paper places emphasis on the organizational factors in each of presented concept. Four groups of organizational factors were extracted: culture, structure, management and processes. The value of this paper is that it is a comparison of the extracted groups in the selected concepts. The outcome of this work was the discovery that the organizational culture in each of the concepts was very similar, yet, the structure supporting self-organizing teams may vary in effect, starting from the project, to the whole organization. Still, the management and processes appeared to be very similar in the teal organization, holacracy and sociocracy. Moreover, agile project management was more similar to traditional organizations. The paper emphasizes the need for further research, in particular, in companies which have adopted the presented concepts.
