AB  - USR has become the axis for improving
sustainable educational future depending on the students,
who represent the core center of Society, Universities and
Business future. Thus, many Lebanese universities have
established CSR departments and set out socially
responsible strategies to involve their students in social
activities and programs to improve the CSR concept and
social awareness. On the other side, Sustainable
leadership has spread in various departments, especially
in the educational field. Hence, in this study, I will try to
visualize the correlation between sustainable leadership
factors (traits, knowledge, styles and actions) on the USR
dimensions (social, ethical, educational, environmental)
in the Lebanese public and private universities. Basically,
it is hypothesized that Sustainable leadership factors have
a positive effect on the Social Responsibility of the
Lebanese Universities. For assessing this relationship, I
had conducted an online survey with a total sample of 600
Lebanese professors, out of which 404 completed
questionnaires were obtained. I used the Confirmatory
Factor Analysis (CFA) and the hypotheses are tested by
using structural equation modeling SEM, to test the
reliability and validity. The results show the difference in
the application of Sustainable leadership practices
between public and private universities where the
sustainable leadership traits have a positive impact on
University social responsibility in both public and private
universities, moreover, the sustainable leadership styles
show negative impact on University social responsibility
in both public and private universities, where the
leadership actions show the positive correlation in the
Lebanese private universities and negative impact in the
Lebanese public university.
