Abstract
Background and aim: This study aims to present a model of the factors affecting the social responsibility of students at Farhangian University of Kurdistan.
Data and method: The approach of this research was a sequential exploratory design, conducted using thematic analysis and survey methods. The target population for the qualitative phase, aimed at determining the indicators related to social responsibility, consisted of 20 faculty members. The statistical population for the quantitative phase included 1,900 students of Farhangian University of Kurdistan, of which 320 individuals were selected as the sample using Cochran's formula and random sampling.
Findings: Based on the results of the qualitative data analysis, the three-pronged model encompassed 8 categories and three overarching themes: contextual factors (financial resources, physical resources, family), structural factors (organizational structure, strategy, and technology), and behavioral factors (employees and human relations). Furthermore, the social responsibility variable comprised three categories: professional ethics, critique-acceptance, and lifelong learning.
Conclusion: The results of the quantitative data analysis, conducted using confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, and one-sample t-tests, indicated the positive effects of behavioral, structural, and contextual factors on students' social responsibility, respectively.
