Presenter Abstract Under the circumstances of globalisation, the formation of the collective cultural space in the European Union, the effectiveness of cultural personnel governance is encountering new requirements and new challenges. In the period of economic and political crisis throughout the European countries, the development of governance is not receiving the necessary encouragement by failing to dedicate the proper attention of the academic society to the issues of cultural personnel governance. The European practice of cultural personnel governance is more and more often becoming based on consolidation of the democratic values, modernisation of the relationship between public institutions and private business structures, purposeful visions of long-term development. However, the training and the education of the cultural administration specialists, the analysis of their working methodology, the training strategies, the control of the bureaucratic systems and the legal and ethical responsibility are the vital factors of the modern period of globalisation, the essence of which has not been investigated sufficiently from the systematic point of view. The purpose of the article is to analyse the cultural personnel governance in the stage of globalisation. The tasks set for achieving the anticipated object of the work are the following: to define the professional cultural personnel training conditions, to analyse the strategical trends and perspectives of the cultural personnel governance. The conditions of the professional cultural administration personnel training are associated with the versatile understanding of the activities performed by the administrators and the creation of an absolutely new quality. In order to improve the conditions of the professional cultural administration personnel training, one must accept the importance of the environmental factors, the significance of elaborating the legal basis reflecting the objectives of the cultural administration reform, the advantages of the mixed working methods implemented in successful public institutions and look for additional possibilities by integrating the management and administration technologies and by broadly invoking the control and the evaluation systems. The harmonious and effective cultural personnel governance, as a process, becomes a complex cultural development opportunity when the countries are becoming more oriented towards the goals and objectives of the international organisations. The strategic cultural administration personnel trends and perspectives are influenced by the general guidelines of the strategic cultural policy documents, by the global changes of the environment and by the personal values of the administrators. In order to administrate the culture under the conditions of globalisation and to obtain a more effective personnel governance in the area, it is necessary to ensure the rational application of the principles of centralisation and decentralisation by concretising the goals and objectives of the personnel, by bringing the consumer of the cultural goods and services closer to the administrator and by supporting the potential and useful initiatives of the citizens and various interest groups and by embedding the set mission in the consciousness of the administrator, thus contributing to the encouragement of his/her loyalty.
