A proposed scenario to activate the role of a national institution in achieving quality of life

Abstract

This study aims to build a proposed scenario to activate the role of a Saudi institution in achieving the quality of life. To this end, a questionnaire was administered to 323 faculty members. The results revealed how the participants viewed the role of their institution in achieving the quality of life and generally obtained considerable agreement from the sample. The results showed that the university’s major role would be expected to enhance national identity, followed by the problem-solving, institutional, psychological, and societal fields. Findings indicate statistically significant differences in the participants’ responses that might be attributed to the gender variable. Similarly, a statistically significant difference that could be ascribed to the institutional, problem-solving, and national identity fields in favour of males was observed. However, the variables of specialization and academic rank seem to have insignificant differences. Keywords; quality of life, proposed scenario, faculty members, role, institution
