Abstract

The University Social Responsibility (USR) is of vital importance for the development and stability of the high-level study houses nationwide. Promoting the sustainable thinking of the entire university community has become one of the biggest challenges of the Autonomous University of Coahuila, Mexico and in particular of the Faculty of Administration Sciences (FCA). The main goal or objective of this study was to determine the influence that leadership and the Government Nodies (GBs) have in the USR, this last one as a main Stakeholder in the USR, focusing on the issues that the governance of the university exerts as a positive way and in those in which one must work for continuous improvement and the advance towards a new way of approaching the vision and doing in responsible subjects. The empirical investigation had an exploratory character and included a sample of 211 people who study and work in the FCA. The research instrument incorporates questions that relate to the (GBs) with the different Stakeholders. For its evaluation, contingency tables and exploratory factor analysis were used. The results demonstrate the existence of leadership and management in the development of the USR and the need for improvement in issues of promotion and involvement of stakeholders to achieve the common goal, a responsible University. It was concluded that effective leadership is a driving force in issues of USR and that the FCA suffers from an inadequate linkage and promotion of issues related to the development of Stakeholders.
