The importance of the "quality culture" has been increasing more and more in the efforts aiming internalizing quality in managerial and organizationalactivities. The main purposes of this study are to reveal the way and frequency of the quality culture issue in the academic literature, to identify the characteristics of the studies carried 849out, and in addition, to contribute to the literature by compiling national-scale studies on the subject. For these purposes, the studies titled "quality culture" were searched in Dergipark, Google Scholar and YÖK National Thesis Center and scientific studies titled "quality culture" published in academic research journals, master's and doctoral theses in Türkiye between 1990-2022 (October). Source types of publications, publication year, publication frequency, author information, universities and institutes, and breakdown of publications by departments, etc. properties were examined using the bibliometric analysis method. A total of 29 scientific studies, including 14 master's theses, 3 doctoral theses, 9 articles and 3 conference publications were reached and studied. It has been revealed that studies on quality culture are mostly carried out at the master's thesis level, the distribution of publications by years is uneven, and these studies are very inadequate compared to studies in both the field of business and social sciences and education. It is expected that this study will raise the awareness about the quality culture and provide an overview of the relevant national literature and serve as a roadmap for future research.
