English Using the example of Swiss housing co-operatives, the study shows how the ndividual member value perception is influenced by the co-operative governance and what other organizational as well as individual factors are relevant in this manner. The strongest effect over all is the age of the co-op: the older a co-op is the better is the economic value for the members but on the same time the lower are the co-operative member values.
