Summary/Abstract: The paper looks at the municipal offices in Poland as an example of public organisations from the point of view of corporate culture. Research into this relationship seems largely absent from the body of knowledge in the area of organisational culture, as well as public management. Analysed are: the existing systems of values and norms in municipal offices, the methods used to enhance their organisational culture, the causes and sources of organisational resistance, its symptoms and the ways to overcome it. The author presents the preliminary results of studies carried out within the framework of the research grant N N115 153239: “The formation of organisational culture in local government on the example of city offices”.
