Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the effective role of Jordanian public universities as productive institutions from the perspective of academic leaders. A questionnaire was used and a descriptive approach was adopted. 323 questionnaire forms were distributed to academic leaders. Those leaders were selected from three Jordanian public universities; (the University of Jordan, Yarmouk University, and Mu’tah University). The present study aimed to identify whether there is any statistically significant difference between the respondents’ attitudes which can be attributed to (their leadership position, or faculty or the university they graduated from). 287 questionnaire forms were retrieved. The stratified random sampling method was used. It was found that the Jordanian public universities play a very effective role as productive universities from the perspective of the academic leaders. That’s because the overall mean is 3.96. The overall standard deviation is 0.18. It was found that there isn’t any statistically significant difference between the respondents’ attitudes.
