The article updates the problem of managing the professional development of scientific and pedagogical workers of a communal institution of higher education, since the research of the mentioned phenomenon must be carried out using substantiated methodological approaches. Based on the results of the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature, it was concluded that modern scientists have not fully studied the issue of methodological approaches to the management of professional development of scientific and pedagogical workers of a communal institution of higher education. In the article, the leading methodological approaches are defined as integrative, innovative, motivational, activity, reflexive, andragogic, competence, humanistic, person-oriented, axiological, acmeological, centralized, decentralized, regional. It has been established that the implementation of the integration approach allows to ensure the coherence of actions between all sections of the organizational structure of the communal institution of higher education. The use of an innovative approach has a positive effect on the emergence of new modern management ways of increasing the efficiency of higher education institutions. Taking into account the motivational approach ensures an increase in the internal motivation of scientific and pedagogical workers, the activity approach ‒ professional selfactualization, the reflective approach ‒ strengthening their ability to self-assess, adequate self-analysis. It is emphasized that the introduction of the andragogic approach allows to strengthen the connection between theory and practice of adult education, to determine ways of improving the qualifications of pedagogical workers. It was concluded that taking into account the principles of the competence approach helps in making balanced competent decisions, the humanistic approach helps to build friendly and tolerant relations between all participants in the process of managing professional development, and the person-oriented approach ‒ the development of individual qualities and abilities.
