Summary

Introduction

A University is an educational institution, which caters the community service and propagates proper culture on the scientific basis. Students are usually observed to face various obstacles in volunteering services, which include the rising education-related expenses, as well as the requirement to undertake more paid work (Cnaan et al, 2010) It has been stated by the researchers in project prepared for the Skill Promotion Centre in Hull University that members of the Student Unions have more self-awareness and understanding of the importance of promotion of skills. The outcomes of Almaliki (2010) demonstrated that the main motive towards voluntary service from the perspective of postgraduate students was to acquire new experiences and skills as well as the desire to help others, gain self-confidence, and develop the social personality. This situation necessitates a study to discriminate the dimensions of this problem in order to realize the positive aspects of universities in propagating voluntary work culture and how to enforce it
