Abstract

Society is constantly developing and museums must respond to this. Museums’ main tasks include conservation of humanity’s history, which puts high demands on museum staff. The level of care for cultural heritage depends on the quality of staff at the given museums. Thus, HR management can be perceived as a soft museum discipline that can be supplemented with hard management approaches. From here, certain research questions arise, such as: What are the vital factors for HR management in museums, or how can personnel competencies development be continuously improved? The research aim is, therefore, to define for museums the vital factors for personnel competencies development with an emphasis on efficiency improvement. The defined task will be completed using a questionnaire together with a multipoint Likert scale. The research was conducted on a sample of n = 810 museums in EU 27. A personnel competencies model was constructed based on the statistical analysis and using stepwise regression, which points to the importance of auditing and controlling approaches in the management of museums. The outcomes point to a lower than expected impact of the number of employees and the quality of management on the personnel competencies development. The correlation analysis of the variables shows interesting relations that should be used for the development of performance in museums.
