In the labyrinth of culture. Professional development paths for public cultural organizations’ workers

Abstract

This article focuses attention on a somewhat overlooked topic of professional development of non-artistic workforce of public cultural organizations (PCO). The research problem of this study was formulated in a form of question: How the career paths of workers of public cultural organizations are shaped? The study allowed to capture the specific types of professional paths of the non-artistic PCO’s workforce and factors that influence their careers’ patterns. The findings are presented in 3 sections: (1) typology of professional development models in PCO, (2) factors shaping the career paths of PCO workers and (3) A vision for the future of PCO. Data used in this article are derived from research composed of 51 in-depth interviews with PCO workforce in Poland. These findings contribute to the knowledge of the human resources management of public cultural organizations workers and present a set of implications for PCO policy.
