We prove that the Musielak-Orlicz sequence space with the Orlicz norm has property (β) iff it is reflexive. It is a generalization and essential extension of the respective results from [3] and [5]. Moreover, taking an arbitrary Musielak-Orlicz function instead of an N-function we develop new methods and techniques of proof and we consider a wider class of spaces than in [3] and [5].
