Educational Governance: Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study to achieve territorial governance in the educational field, the practice of sustainable development and correct social responsibility are required. Method: For this reason, this study used a quantitative approach, a non-experimental design, and a causal correlation scope. The population included 261 directors of a local educational entity, while the sample considered 120 directors, after the intentional non-probabilistic test. Results and Conclusions: The instruments were validated with results in the Cronbach's Alpha test of 0.961 for sustainable development and 0.991 for social responsibility. It was possible to conclude that the variables significantly influence territorial educational governance. This could be demonstrated with the Nagelkerke R2 value of 0.981. Research implications: Through this study it was shown that training in sustainable development and university social responsibility affect the territorial educational governance of the directors of an Educational Management Unit, by 98.1%. Originality/value: The social justice dimension implies instructing citizens to combat gaps such as poverty, discrimination, and lack of attention to the most vulnerable sectors.
