The Role of Universities in Promoting Social Responsibility (Universities of Amman as a Study Samples)

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the role of universities in Amman in promoting social responsibility by understanding the responsibility of faculty members in universities and its relationship to their job performance from the students' point of view. The descriptive correlational approach was used, which included the use of a questionnaire consisting of 229 male and female students out of a total of 77,213 male and female students, with two main axes, the first axis measures the social responsibility of faculty members, and the second axis measures their job performance. The results of the study showed that the degree of social responsibility of faculty members in those universities was high from the students' point of view. The results also revealed the existence of statistically significant differences in the social responsibility scale attributed to the variable of university type, specifically in favor of private universities. In addition, the results showed that the degree of job performance of faculty members from the students' point of view was high.
