Abstract

This study aims to determine the dimensions and requirements of management by responsibility in higher education institutions in order to develop their performance in the light of the Saudi Arabia's national Vision 2030.
To   achieve this goal, the researcher distributed two questionnaires to a sample of (3856)   academic and administrative leaders in nine Saudi universities, namely: Umm Al-Qura, King Abdulaziz, Al-Baha, Princess Nora, Al-Jouf, Al-Qassim, King Saud, King Fahd for Petroleum and Minerals, and   Taibah.
The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach, and   its most important findings:    
   -The degree of availability of the dimensions of management   by responsibility: (the   sponsoring responsibility principle, the، recompense principle, the   individual responsibility principle, and the   Shura principle) in Saudi universities was average from the point of view of   the study population   with an arithmetic mean of (3.35)   and a standard deviation of ( 0.71).
 -The degree of   practicing   the requirements of management   by responsibility   (planning to link the institutional performance with responsibility centers, performance reporting system, administrative organization to identify responsibility centers,    availability of an effective incentive system to enhance management   by responsibility, the principle of analyzing deviations in actual performance from planned performance, and the principle of comparing the  actual performance with planned performance in   responsibility centers) in Saudi universities   was average with an arithmetic mean   of 3.34 and a standard deviation of 0.72.
There  are no statistically significant differences between the means of the study sample responses in the extent to which the   dimensions of management by responsibility for the gender variable and the training courses variable were available at the significance level (0.05).
  There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the study sample responses   regarding the availability of the dimensions of management by responsibility (the   sponsoring responsibility principle)  at the significance level (0.05) in favor of those with more than ten years' experience.
  The present research has   recommended the provision of the dimensions of management by responsibility as an introduction to the development of the management of  higher education institutions in the light of the Saudi national Vision 2030. This can be done  through the provision of evidence  and indicators in   work   practices and rules   and administrative organization in   universities and dissemination of this
