The study shows the substantial negative impact of factors within the cooperative movement on its role in creating employment opportunities, while the effect of external factors are more moderate in regards to the role of the cooperative movement in creating Jobs. The study found that the projects of the cooperative movement are weak and have very little effectiveness in job creation. The study also shows the limited role of subunions and the General Union. As noted earlier, it found that there are significant differences according to the attitudes of the researched individuals as to the role of the cooperative movement in job creation and promotion due to the changes of the departments as well as private variables related to the cooperatives management and to other factors related to the cooperatives themselves. The study noted the existence of differences in regards to the independent variables related to the administrative departments of cooperative societies with the exception of the gender variable, while other differences devolve from the variables of age, academic qualification and years of experience in cooperative work, and the nature of the work in the cooperative.The study also explores the significant differences stemming from the independent variables related to the cooperatives themselves. They found differences related to changes in the activities of a cooperative, the value of assets, and the number of employees. There were not found any significant changes due to the variables of the cooperative’s age, place of its work, scope of its work, number of members, results of activities, or the number of volunteers. The study recommends to work fast on the national strategic sectorial plan of cooperation for the period 2011- 2013 and to speed up the approval of the cooperative work regulation law.
