AB  - Education plays an enormous role within the
economic development of the nation as it helps countries
in accomplishing sustainable economic advancement with
the assistance of its professors and their advanced
leadership techniques that make a shift in university role
and mission, thus, it is an imperative tool in raising social
responsibility of the University Stakeholders. Therefore,
the principal aim for this paper is to examine the effect of
Sustainable Leadership measurements, i.e., leadership
characteristics, leadership styles and leadership actions on
Social Responsibility in the selected Lebanese private
universities. Principally, it is hypothesized that
Sustainable leadership factors have a positive effect on
the Social Responsibility of the Lebanese Universities.
For evaluating this correlation, I had conducted an online
survey with a total sample of 300 Lebanese professors,
out of which 180 completed questionnaires were obtained,
during the period from February till June 2020. The
reliability and validity of the dimensions are assessed
through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the
hypothesis are tested by using structural equation
modeling SEM. The analytical results indicate that
sustainable leadership characteristics and leadership
actions have both a positive impact on the university
social responsibility, in contrast to the leadership styles
that do not have a positive impact on University social
responsibility. Thus, this study implies the importance of
leadership practices held in Private universities and its
impact on USR educational, social and environmental
dimensions to fulfill the society sustainable development.
