Authors : M.hamid Elnagi .

Abstract

The culture of social responsibility represents a fundamental pillar for achieving the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, embodied in the vision of “An Ambitious Nation and a Responsible Citizen”. This study examines the relationship between social awareness and the promotion of a culture of social responsibility among students at King Faisal University. Adopting a descriptive research method, the study employs a social survey approach and a purposive sample of 261 male and female students from different colleges and academic levels. The sample comprises students actively involved volunteer clubs that implement voluntary initiatives and activities within the framework of community partnership, both on campus and beyond. The findings reveal strong, positive, and statistically significant correlations positive at the 0.01 level all dimensions of the study, with Correlation coefficients ranging from 0.527 to 0.853, indicating robust and interconnected relationships. Results further demonstrate that the dimensions of social responsibility function within an integrated system. Specifically, the study concludes the following: • Students exhibit a high level of social awareness regarding the culture of social responsibility. • Elevated awareness is positively associated with increased participation, leading to enhanced commitment to social values. • Social awareness and social responsibility are embedded within the university environment as interconnected values and behaviors rather than isolated activities. • Awareness fosters positive attitudes toward participation, which consequently strengthens value-based commitment. • The university environment and extracurricular activities reinforce this interconnectedness, contributing to continuous improvement in volunteer initiatives. • The findings highlight the importance of enhancing student engagement in the innovation, design, and development of high-quality voluntary initiatives and activities.
