Abstract: (1245 Views)
Introduction: One of the characteristics of the higher education system is social responsibility. In the current situation, family members of higher education and other social actors expect the university to alleviate the pain and suffering caused by the Coronavirus Panidemic by acting responsibly and using the knowledge and technologies at its disposal. Th purpose of this study is to provide a conceptual framework of social responsibility of universities in dealing with the Coronavirus crisis (Covid-19 disease.)
Method: This research is of applied type and has been done by documentary and meta-synthesis method. Sandlowski and Barroso seven-step methods were used to analyze the data. A total of 21 relevant, valid, and new sources were selected for the final meta-synthesis method, from which 75 codes, 11 concepts and 6 main components were extracted.
Findings: The findings showed that the components of university social responsibility in dealing with Coronavirus include identifying changes (economically, socially, politically, culturally, technologically, and environmentally), increasing social knowledge, establishing crisis management (with the aim of developing participation), creating a flexible structure (adapted to environmental changes), having an efficient and effective communication model with society and executive dimensions, and providing a solution. The proposed conceptual model consists of six main components that affect each other.
Discussion: In general, it can be said that the framework extracted from the meta-synthesis method can be considered by the officials of the higher education system to evaluate the factors affecting the role of university social responsibility to deal with Coronavirus.
