Summary: In this research we intended to investigate recent
developments in university staff development in context of presumptions and
criteria of higher education effectiveness in foreign countries. Always

our situation. In empirical part of our research, we tried to verify
proposed models, what becomes our contribution in improvement university

university teaching should be done.
