The study examined factors influencing the implementation of green human resource management (green HRM) practices in nongovernmental organizations (NGOs located in China) and their effects on employee green behavior. Data were collected from 170 respondents working in NGOs across China and analyzed using PLS SEM. The findings revealed that green performance did not significantly relate to environmental strategy, nor did environmental strategy mediate its relationship with employee ecological behavior. In contrast, green self efficacy and green training significantly influenced environmental strategy, which subsequently mediated their effects on employee ecological behavior. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on Chinese NGOs, a context largely overlooked in green management research, thereby extending empirical evidence beyond the traditional corporate sector. Moreover, the study advances the green HRM literature by empirically integrating environmental strategy into the AMO framework as a mediating organizational mechanism linking individual level resources to ecological behavior, an approach rarely explored in prior research. The findings provide new insights for NGOs seeking to strengthen employee ecological behavior through strategically aligned green management practices, while contributing to theoretical development in understanding how organizational strategy shapes the translation of employee capabilities into pro environmental actions.

W badaniu przeanalizowano czynniki wpływające na wdrażanie praktyk ekologicznego zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi (green HRM) w organizacjach pozarządowych (NGO z siedzibą w Chinach) oraz ich wpływ na ekologiczne zachowania pracowników. Dane zebrano od 170 respondentów pracujących w organizacjach pozarządowych w całych Chinach i przeanalizowano za pomocą PLS SEM. Wyniki badania wykazały, że ekologiczne działania nie miały znaczącego związku ze strategią środowiskową, a strategia środowiskowa nie miała wpływu na relacje między nią a ekologicznymi zachowaniami pracowników. Natomiast ekologiczna samoocena i szkolenia ekologiczne miały znaczący wpływ na strategię środowiskową, która następnie pośredniczyła w ich wpływie na ekologiczne zachowania pracowników. Nowatorski charakter niniejszego badania polega na skupieniu się na chińskich organizacjach pozarządowych, kontekście w dużej mierze pomijanym w badaniach nad zarządzaniem ekologicznym, rozszerzając tym samym empiryczne dowody poza tradycyjny sektor korporacyjny. Ponadto badanie to stanowi postęp w literaturze dotyczącej ekologicznego zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi poprzez empiryczne włączenie strategii środowiskowej do ram AMO jako pośredniczącego mechanizmu organizacyjnego łączącego zasoby na poziomie indywidualnym z ekologicznymi zachowaniami, co jest podejściem rzadko badanym w dotychczasowych badaniach. Wyniki badań dostarczają nowych spostrzeżeń dla organizacji pozarządowych, które dążą do wzmocnienia ekologicznych zachowań pracowników poprzez strategicznie dostosowane praktyki zielonego zarządzania, przyczyniając się jednocześnie do rozwoju teoretycznego w zakresie zrozumienia, w jaki sposób strategia organizacyjna kształtuje przekładanie umiejętności pracowników na działania proekologiczne.

Obecnie zauważalny jest wzrost świadomości ekologicznej społeczeństwa. Przejawia się on również w oczekiwaniach użytkowników przestrzeni i dotyczy stosowania proekologicznych rozwiązań oraz technologii zarówno w nowo projektowanych, jak i istniejących budynkach czy przestrzeniach publicznych. Stanowi to duże wyzwanie dla projektantów i zarządców tych obiektów. Istnieje teraz wiele możliwości wykorzystania ekologicznych rozwiązań w budynkach, zarówno w kontekście ich ogrzewania, chłodzenia, jak i usprawnienia ich funkcjonowania. Badania potencjału wprowadzenia proekologicznych rozwiązań w obiektach Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu były prowadzone przez studentów Wydziału Nauk Geografii Społeczno-Ekonomicznej i Gospodarki Przestrzennej. Odbywały się w ramach przedmiotu planowanie infrastruktury technicznej oraz grupy EDIT Poznań – Ekologiczna Dzielnica Innowacji i Technologii. W poniższym artykule zaprezentowano wyniki analizowanej siedziby Wydziału Chemii UAM.

Currently, there is a noticeable increase in the ecological awareness of society. It is also manifested in the expectations of space users to use pro-ecological solutions and technologies in both newly designed and existing buildings and public spaces. This is a big challenge for designers and managers of these facilities. Currently, there are many possibilities of using ecological solutions in buildings, both in the context of, among others, their heating, cooling, and improving their functioning. Modern technologies can be planned at the design stage and also installed in the facility in use. Research on the potential of introducing pro-ecological solutions in the facilities of the University of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań were conducted by third-year students of Spatial Management at the Faculty of Human Geography and Planning Adam Mickiewicz University. This research was carried out as part of the course "Technical Infrastructure Planning" and the EDIT Poznań - Ecological District of Innovation and Technology group. The following article presents students’ proposals for the analysed headquarters of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to examine the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the study process and to assess how it affects the effectiveness of education in the context of agile universities. The key features of an agile university are presented and the ways in which AI technologies support the educational process are discussed. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted using a survey method on a sample of 450 students from various universities. Respondents answered questions about the use of AI tools in the learning process, such as translating complex issues, preparing reports, identifying errors, generating new ideas, and creating tests and questions. Findings: (mandatory) Studies have shown that students most often use AI to explain complex issues and generate new ideas. AI tools are also useful in identifying and correcting errors and creating abbreviations and summaries of long texts. AI tools have proven to be less effective in preparing reports and creating tests. Research limitations/implications: Research limitations include the use of the online survey method, which may have reduced the diversity of respondents and limited sample representativeness. Further research could extend the analysis to other forms of education and greater demographic diversity among students. Practical implications: The results of the research can be useful for universities that want to integrate AI technologies into their curricula. They can help identify the most effective applications of AI in education and develop strategies for implementing agile teaching methods. Social implications: The use of AI in education can contribute to improving the quality of education and better preparing students for the requirements of the modern labor market. AI technologies can also support the development of soft skills, such as creativity and problem-solving skills. Originality/value: The article provides a new perspective on the use of artificial intelligence in education, especially in the context of agile universities. It provides practical recommendations for educational institutions and emphasizes the importance of adaptive technologies in the education process.

Design/methodology/approach: The article is a theoretical and analytical study in the field of selected instruments for improving university management, based on a case study of the University of Bielsko-Biala. The analytical part of the article was carried out in the last quarter of 2023 and included the university's rector and other management staff. Findings: The case study allowed to indicate which instruments for improving university management are known and used at the analyzed university. The presentation of some of the instruments was supported by practical examples of their use, in particular in the area of value stream mapping. Research limitations/implications: Limitations in the implementation of the case study in the field of university management improvement instruments should be related to the instruments included in the analysis. Such action is usually subjective and the researcher is not always able to comprehensively address the issue at hand, taking into account the methodological and substantive aspects. Practical implications: Through a case analysis, it was indicated which instruments for improving university management are known and used at the studied university. Such an analysis may be a contribution to further research and discussion on management improvement instruments that can be used by universities. Originality/value: The added value of the article is the case analysis, which allowed for the identification of selected improvement instruments that can be used in university management.

Purpose: The paper aims to discover the challenges of implementing the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) concept in higher education institutions. Design/methodology/approach: The approach included several steps. First, the necessary literature review was conducted to present RRI concept. Then, the information was gathered to present the lodzkie region in the area of R&D and economy. The last (empirical) part was the study in the form of workshops being organized to obtain information on factors influencing the implementation of RRI concept. Findings: Implementing RRI approach encounters barriers, in particular, the idea needs wider popularization, especially in terms of the benefits of its application. There is also insufficient social trust in science. This emphasizes a need to promote reliable scientific knowledge and to strengthen social awareness of its role in the development of the world. The role of internal and external stakeholders is important here. Communication between participants in innovation processes can improve the efficiency of activity in the sphere of RRI, including mechanisms of inclusive decision-making. The channels and models of communication have to take into consideration the heterogeneity of the recipients. This requires human resources with relevant competencies to execute efficient communication patterns. Research limitations/implications: The workshop was conducted on a relatively small sample and the attendants were already involved in socially/economically/environmentally responsible activity. Although it was possible to capture the main ideas on how to foster RRI concept, it is important to execute wider research on a sample representative for a whole quadruple helix population, including scientists not yet interested in “responsible science”. Practical implications: Findings are important for entities interested in promoting responsible research, e.g. public (e.g. regional) bodies. Social implications: A better understanding of the factors influencing RRI concept implementation can result in fostering the process which in turn would be beneficial for the society as RRI concept promotes research oriented on public interest. Originality/value: The paper presents publicly important findings that (with awareness of their limitations) can entail a commitment to achieving sustainable, ethically acceptable, and socially desirable results of research conducted within universities.

In traditional business settings, organisational learning capability and total quality management are significant factors in pushing an innovation level. However, whether the same phenomenon will occur in higher educational institutions needs to be examined. The literature has different views on the success and applicability of Total Quality Management (TQM), organisational learning, and management innovation principles in Higher Education (HE). This article examines the crucial success aspects of TQM in private universities in Indonesia applying managerial innovation. Data was gathered by distributing questionnaires to 349 university faculty members. Factor Analysis was used to assess the construct commonalities, and multiple Regression Analysis was employed to examine the relationship among constructs. If HE adopts managerial innovation, training and learning, proces management and benchmarking emerge as essential TQM success elements. It has been discovered that organisational learning, directly and indirectly, affects managerial innovation. This study highlights that organisational learning may strengthen and expand managerial innovation. Organisational learning is acquiring and enhancing new information and skills, enhancing an organisation's capacity for innovation.

W tradycyjnych środowiskach biznesowych zdolność do organizacyjnego uczenia się i całkowite zarządzanie jakością są istotnymi czynnikami wpływającymi na poziom innowacyjności. Należy jednak zbadać, czy to samo zjawisko wystąpi w instytucjach szkolnictwa wyższego. W literaturze istnieją różne poglądy na temat sukcesu i możliwości zastosowania całkowitego zarządzania jakością (Total Quality Management - TQM), organizacyjnego uczenia się i zasad innowacji w zarządzaniu w szkolnictwie wyższym (Heigher Education - HE). Niniejszy artykuł analizuje kluczowe aspekty sukcesu TQM na prywatnych uniwersytetach w Indonezji, stosujących innowacje w zarządzaniu. Dane zostały zebrane poprzez rozprowadzenie kwestionariuszy wśród 349 członków kadry uniwersyteckiej. Analiza Czynnikowa została wykorzystana do oceny podobieństw konstruktów, a Analiza Regresji Wielokrotnej została zastosowana do zbadania relacji między konstruktami. Jeśli HE przyjmuje innowacje w zarządzaniu, szkolenia i nauczaniu, zarządzanie procesami i benchmarking wyłaniają się jako podstawowe elementy sukcesu TQM. Odkryto, że organizacyjne uczenie się, bezpośrednio i pośrednio, wpływa na innowacje menedżerskie. Niniejsze opracowanie podkreśla, że organizacyjne uczenie się może wzmocnić i rozszerzyć innowacje menedżerskie. Organizacyjne uczenie się polega na zdobywaniu i doskonaleniu nowych informacji i umiejętności, zwiększając zdolność organizacji do innowacji.

The importance of knowledge as a critical factor in providing organizations with a competitive advantage has become increasingly crucial. Organizations need to adopt a knowledge-based approach to operate effectively in today's economy. This is due to the competitive environment in the global marketplace, where organizations have recognized the need to remain competitive through adequate knowledge storage. This study aims to evaluate the impact of knowledge storage on the performance of organizations, specifically the National Teachers' Colleges (NTCs) in Uganda. Data obtained using a questionnaire were collected from 141 respondents from a target population of 221 from five national teacher training colleges in Uganda. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to determine the impact of knowledge storage as an independent variable on NTCs' performance. The analysis revealed a strong positive impact ( = .510) of knowledge storage on the performance of the NTCs in Uganda. The coefficient of determination indicated that knowledge storage accounted for 51.0% of the change in NTCs' performance. Further testing showed that the significance value (p = .000) was less than the recommended .05, supporting the study's findings. The study guides for NTC to integrate its knowledge and assets, such as databases, people, experience, expertise, systems, policies, and procedures, into knowledge management to improve performance. The results of this study will be used to improve knowledge storage at the NTCs in Uganda, resulting in improved relevance to Ugandan society and beyond.

Znaczenie wiedzy jako krytycznego czynnika zapewniającego organizacjom przewagę konkurencyjną staje się coraz bardziej istotne. Organizacje muszą przyjąć koncepcję opartą na wiedzy, aby skutecznie działać we współczesnej gospodarce. Wynika to z konkurencyjnego środowiska na globalnym rynku, gdzie organizacje dostrzegły potrzebę zachowania konkurencyjności poprzez odpowiednie przechowywanie wiedzy. Niniejsze opracowanie ma na celu ocenę wpływu przechowywania wiedzy na wydajność organizacji, w szczególności Narodowych Kolegiów Nauczycielskich (National Teachers' Colleges - NTC) w Ugandzie. Dane uzyskane za pomocą kwestionariusza zostały zebrane od 141 respondentów z populacji docelowej 221 z pięciu krajowych kolegiów nauczycielskich w Ugandzie. Dane zostały przeanalizowane przy użyciu opisowych i wnioskowych technik statystycznych w celu określenia wpływu przechowywania wiedzy jako zmiennej niezależnej na efektywność NTC. Analiza wykazała silny pozytywny wpływ ( = .510) przechowywania wiedzy na wyniki NTC w Ugandzie. Współczynnik determinacji wskazał, że przechowywanie wiedzy odpowiadało za 51,0% zmian w wydajności NTC. Dalsze testy wykazały, że wartość istotności (p = .000) była mniejsza niż zalecane .05, potwierdzając wyniki badania. Przeprowadzone badanie wskazuje, że NTC powinno zintegrować swoją wiedzę i aktywa, takie jak bazy danych, ludzie, doświadczenie, wiedza specjalistyczna, systemy, zasady i procedury, z zarządzaniem wiedzą w celu poprawy wydajności. Wyniki tego badania zostaną wykorzystane do poprawy przechowywania wiedzy w NTC w Ugandzie, co poprawi ich znaczenie dla społeczeństwa ugandyjskiego i nie tylko.

In recent decades, the concept of strategic management at universities has attracted more and more attention. There is a significant increase in the awareness of the importance of well-developed development concepts, both among university employees and management staff. Numerous research studies also discuss the need for changes in that presented area. Unfortunately, the analysis of the literature on the subject shows that more attention is paid to the strategy development phase than to its implementation. There are also few studies examining the influence of factors on the strategy implementation at universities. The area of research was related to factors influencing the process of strategy implementation. This article presents the detailed results of the survey of analysis, which covered the opinions of management and employees influencing the strategy implementation at universities in Poland. The main objective of the study was to measure the operational risk of factors influencing the process of strategy at universities and to specify the factors with the highest operational risk level. The study was conducted using the PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interview) technique, based on the research questionnaire. The method of collecting data in an open (explicit) and standardized manner was used there. For this purpose, a standardized research questionnaire was used.

During the Age of Enlightenment, many Poles pursued medical studies at various European universities. One of them was Jan Dominik Piotr Jaśkiewicz. Born on 6 July 1749 in Lviv to an Armenian family, he moved to Vienna in the late 1760s to study medicine at the university under the supervision of renowned professors: Anton de Haën, Heinrich Johann Nepomuk von Crantz, Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin, and others. Jaśkiewicz graduated in 1775 with a Doctor of Medicine degree, based on the thesis titled “Dissertatio inauguralis medica sistens pharmaca regni vegetabilis”, in which he provided a list, description, and healing properties of some plant species, arranged according to the systematics of Carl von Linnè (Linnaeus). Through his dissertation, Jaśkiewicz popularized in Poland the views of the Viennese medical school, among others, on the medical use of digitalis. For some time he remained in Vienna, attempting to secure a suitable position. Between 1780 and 1783, Jaśkiewicz expanded his knowledge of nature through travels to Italy, Germany, and France. After presenting his mineralogical observations in Paris, Jaśkiewicz was appointed as a correspondent member of the Paris Academy of Sciences. It was during this time in Paris that Jaśkiewicz met Jan Śniadecki, who later became his friend, colleague, and patient. Subsequently, Hugo Kołłątaj appointed Jaśkiewicz as a professor of natural history and chemistry at the Crown’s Main School in Kraków (Jagiellonian University). He began his lectures in Kraków on 1 October 1783. It should be emphasized that Jaśkiewicz laid the foundations for Polish scientific vocabulary. He also played a crucial role in establishing a chemical laboratory and organizing a botanical garden and a cabinet of natural history. In February 1783, Jaśkiewicz took on the position of a hospital physician (director) at the St. Barbara Academic Hospital, where he focused on organizing the hospital’s finances and management. Around the same time, he declined additional remuneration for this role. In 1787, Jaśkiewicz assumed the duties of the house physician for the Wielopolski margrave in Pińczów. Jaśkiewicz died in Kraków on 14 November 1809. Throughout his life, he was an active physician and performed his medical career independently of other duties. Jaśkiewicz gained considerable recognition and popularity for his achievements in the medical field.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to present the results of research on needs and possibilities of implementing Lean Management concept at the university. Using the literature review and the results of empirical research, author proposes specific solutions (tools). Design/methodology/approach: The aim of the research was carried out on the basis of latest world literature review and empirical research conducted at a Polish university, the domain of which is practical education. The article is a case study with a proposal for the implementation of LM in a selected university. The research covered selected organizational units of universities. Findings: Recommendations for the use of selected Lean tools is the need to rationalize the activities undertaken in universities, including continuous improvement and flexibility of processes. There are economically justifiable actions to reduce waste and losses occurring in universities, as well as the integration of diversified and often non-cooperating organizational (functional) units. The proposals presented in this article may become an inspiration for universities that are thinking about implementing previously unused improvement tools. Research limitations/implications: Empirical research has been limited to one university, and the proposed methods and tools relate to selected functional areas. LM implementation requires prior analysis of the needs and capabilities of each organization. Practical implications: Due to the functioning of universities in an increasingly difficult to predict environment, they are forced to look for ways not only to survive, but above all to continuously improve the entire organization. The implemented rationalization and development measures should contribute to the improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of management. Unpredictable changes concern the legal, socio-cultural, economic and economic environment, as well as the COVID-19 epidemic situation. These challenges are met by the concept of LM - as an inspiration and an opportunity to accelerate remedial and pro-development actions. Originality/value: The article is dedicated to people interested in the theory and practice of the LM concept. The use of the methods and tools proposed by the author in various functional areas of the university may bring about beneficial changes in the form of improvements in activities, time savings, as well as rationalization and greater efficiency of the implemented processes.

The subject of the article oscillates around selected topics of science and technology studies in relation to the university space of institutionalization of science. The present proposition to extend metascience so that it comprises studies on the university and the anthropocene discourse is combined with an attempt to present these studies in the perspective of deep humanities, through consilience and the outline of the socio-cultural history of the university. Hence, I present here the view of social epistemology in the science in context discourse (in the style of Alvin Goldman rather than Thomas Kuhn), understood as a science about the social dimensions of knowledge, with an emphasis on epistemic processes and practices that provide space for the main factors influencing our beliefs, especially acts of communication and institutional structures. In this respect, this text can also be treated as a gloss to the contemporary dispute about the university and a reminder that this dispute should also be a reference point for the theory of social knowledge, taking into account the different contexts of interactions and their institutional complexity in which scientific facts (and most cognitive acts) are made.

The interaction between universities and business in the field of innovation is practically relatively simple and straightforward, but at the same time requires careful construction of complex processes. All these processes of interaction are directly related to people and the organization. The term "stakeholders" applied only to employees of the enterprise, but due to the current changes, it has acquired a social orientation. The term is now common in many scientific publications. It can be applied to the organization itself and outside the organization in the organization of interaction between universities and business. The purpose of the study was to define and identify the interactions between universities and enterprises, depending on the type of activity. The HEIinovate tool was used to get the result among 2 universities in Kazakhstan and Poland. The results of the study show that the identification of internal stakeholders of interaction between universities and business in the field of innovation plays a key role in the joint work of both parties.

The research measured and evaluated the influence of 6 factors, namely: program coordination organization, lecturers, training programs, teaching and learning methods, facilities, and personal expectations of students to the expected price of higher education services at Vietnamese public Universities. The results show that all 6 factors had positive effects on the expected price of higher education services. The training program had the strongest impact on the expected price of higher education services, followed by the lecturer factor. On that basis, we propose appropriate recommendations to improve and enhance the quality of higher education services towards sustainable development of higher education for Vietnamese public Universities.

Effective project management requires consideration of aspects such as quality, costs, time, material resources, staff and communication, and risk. In the case of projects co-financed from European Union funds, the main threat is recognition of part or all of the costs as ineligible, which will result in a need to cover them from university's own funds. Therefore, not only successful completion of the project but also financial condition of the university depends on safety level of EU project management system. Main purpose of the study was to indicate actions aimed at increasing safety of EU project management system in public universities. First part of article is theoretical and was prepared based on a critical analysis of the literature in a field of project management. Second part of the text was based on primary data collected during the survey among EU project managers at public technical universities. Literature studies and results of own research have enabled preparation of recommendations to increase the level of safety of project management system co-financed from EU funds at public universities.

The aim of this paper is to examine the two types of relationships - the first one between R&D activities of the firms and innovations and the second relationship between technology transfer and innovation among businesses in Azerbaijan. Data collection were conducted through surveys among 300 small and medium businesses operating in different sectors of economy in Azerbaijan. The novelty of the research lies in 1) surveying the SME sector which have less intensive innovation activities than large, capital intensive firms; 2) SMEs owned entirely by foreign investors are more innovative as compared to firms owned by local investors. Developed and developing economies have attached significant importance to technology transfer as a catalyst of innovation. Transfer of knowledge and technology from generators of such technology including universities and research institutions to industry has shown its result in the example of countries where there is a strong bridge between universities and industry. In other economies where there is not such a strong link between industry and research institutions, innovation can be promoted through adopting ready technology developed by universities and businesses abroad. The results of econometric analysis indicate that while a strong relationship exists between R&D investment and innovation, there is not a strong empirical support that obtaining licenses will increase innovation potential of firms. The partnership between firms and research centers as well as universities, on the other hand lead to increased innovativeness of the businesses under study.

Celem tego artykułu jest zbadanie dwóch rodzajów relacji - pierwszy między działaniami badawczo-rozwojowymi firm a innowacjami oraz drugi związek między transferem technologii i innowacjami między przedsiębiorstwami w Azerbejdżanie. Gromadzenie danych przeprowadzono poprzez ankiety wśród 300 małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw działających w różnych sektorach gospodarki w Azerbejdżanie. Nowość badań polega na: badaniu sektora MŚP, które prowadzą mniej intensywne działania innowacyjne niż duże firmy kapitałochłonne; i MŚP będących w całości własnością inwestorów zagranicznych które są bardziej innowacyjne w porównaniu do firm będących własnością inwestorów lokalnych. Rozwinięte i rozwijające się gospodarki przywiązują dużą wagę do transferu technologii jako katalizatora innowacji. Transfer wiedzy i technologii z generatorów takich technologii, w tym uniwersytetów i instytucji badawczych, do przemysłu pokazał swój wynik na przykładzie krajów, w których istnieje silny pomost między uniwersytetami a przemysłem. W innych gospodarkach, w których nie ma tak silnego powiązania między przemysłem a instytucjami badawczymi, innowacje można promować poprzez przyjęcie gotowej technologii opracowanej przez uniwersytety i przedsiębiorstwa za granicą. Wyniki analizy ekonometrycznej wskazują, że chociaż istnieje silny związek między inwestycjami w badania i rozwój a innowacjami, nie ma silnego empirycznego wsparcia, że uzyskanie licencji zwiększy potencjał innowacyjny firm. Z drugiej strony partnerstwo między firmami i ośrodkami badawczymi oraz uniwersytetami prowadzi do zwiększenia innowacyjności badanych przedsiębiorstw.

The aim of this article is to identify and discuss research problems, methods and conclusions existing in the studies on quality culture in higher education institutions. A systematic review of literature was used. The study was conducted on the basis of 27 peer-reviewed, English-language scientific articles published in academic journals. These papers were selected based on the list of excluding (i.g. type of the publication, etc.) and including criterions (i.g. keywords, etc.). There are three conclusions. Firstly, there is a need to continue research in the areas of factors affecting quality culture and the development of quality culture. Secondly, although surveys, literature reviews and document analysis are the most often used quality culture research methods, this list might be extended to other methods. Finally, factors promoting and inhibiting the development of quality culture, elements binding structural/managerial and cultural/psychological parts of the concept and effects of quality culture, appear to be interesting, cognitively valuable and worth recognizing in further studies.
