Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the article is to propose such oxymoronic word combinations that accurately designate the phenomena of paradoxical character which were identified in international empirical research devoted to competency management. The research project was cofounded by the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union and covered Poland; Spain and Austria. A research reflection that appeared as a consequence of data analysis in the scope of competency management strategies inclined the author to divide the oxymora into paradoxical and nonparadoxical. At the same time the final result of the conducted considerations is an attempt to introduce such nonparadoxical oxymora to management language as hierarchical egalitarianism; flexible formalization; present future; collectivistic individualist; female masculinity; individualistic collectivist; and male femininity.
