To answer the first query, organizational structures in the examined agricultural enterprises were analysed and persons active there were characterized. The research proves that there are two levels, to be differentiated in the organizational structures of the inventiveness and rationalization movement. The superior one is visible in the inventiveness services and commissions (state machinery centers, state farms), the lower, in separate posts concerned with inventiveness and, to a small extent, inventiveness commissions (county cooperatives „Samopomoc Chłopska" and cooperatives of agriculturals associations. The organizational level is the index of dynamics of employee's inventiveness in the respect of number of author and of their suggestions:. Characteristics of persons involved prove that a development of the movement depends on their knowledge of patent laws, understanding of their enterprise's specifics., and on their technical knowledge. The analysas of the staff's interest; in worker's inventiveness became grounds to answer the second query- It lis proved by the survey that a function of a chairman of enterprises inventiveness commision is usually taken up by the deputy technological director and his activity in those commissions effects the development in an agricultural enterprise. Yet, the rank of inventions suggested by the employees increases considerably when a director or his deputy are the co-authors of the project of invention. In other words, a social recognition for rationalizers increases in relation to the staff's personal interest in the rationalization and inventiveness movement.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
