Abstract

     The study aimed to investigate the reality of Social responsibility practice in Jordanian universities in accordance with the sustainable development goals from the perspective of faculty members in these universities. The study adopted the descriptive survey method. The study sample consisted of (147) faculty members in Jordanian universities for the academic year 2022/2023. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire consisting of (31) items was developed and divided into four domains, namely: Social dimension, environmental dimension, economic dimension, and academic dimension. The findings showed that the reality of Social responsibility practice in Jordanian universities in accordance with the sustainable development goals from the perspective of faculty members in these universities was generally high (3.757). On one hand, the findings indicated that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α≤0.05) in individual responses to the study sample that could be either attributed to the university (public/private) variable or the faculty (sciences/humanities) variable. On the other hand, the findings indicated that there were statistically significant differences at the significance level (α≤0.05) in individual responses to the study sample that could be either attributed to the academic rank variable.
