The purpose of the article is to identify the quality determinants of the research process in management sciences. Additionally, the author aims to indicate the relationships and differences in the identified determinants of quality depending on the adopted idiographic and nomothetic approach in management sciences. To achieve the intended purpose, the author used the survey data based on an expert group consisting of 401 scientific employees. In addition, a cluster analysis was used to identify the determinants of research process quality, conducted both for the entire sample studied, as well as in individual groups representing the idiographic and nomothetic approaches in management sciences. Based on the conducted research, 7 general determinants of research process quality in management sciences have been identified. In addition, the analysis of the results showed that the determinants of the research process quality are consistent between the idiographic and nomothetic approaches. The main contribution of this article focuses on the developed recommendations regarding the identified determinants. Applying the guidelines presented in the article may result in an increase in the quality of the research process in management sciences, regardless of the adopted research approaches.
