This paper sets out to analyse the concept of the multitudes of quality cultures of Higher Education Institutions.

The cognitive aim of the chapter is an attempt to describe organisational culture in contemporary higher education institutions in Poland based on a multi-paradigm model. The aim of the research is to create a multi-paradigmatic model of quality culture in higher education institutions in Poland.
