الاقتدار الاخلاقي وعلاقته بدافعية التطوع لدى تدريسيي الجامعة

Abstract

     Among the problems facing university lecturers are ethical challenges and how to make and adhere to decisions, in addition to the obstacles that limit the practice of volunteer activities. Therefore, the current research addresses two concepts that represent a contemporary challenge according to the requirements of the success of university lecturers, namely moral potency, which refers to the ability of the lecturer to make ethical decisions in difficult circumstances and challenges as dictated by principles and ethics. The researcher relied on the theory of (Hannah, et al. 2011) to understand and interpret this concept and interpret the results he reached. In addition, he addressed the motivation to volunteer, which is the engine that drives the lecturer to participate in volunteer work, which usually does not bring material benefits. In order to clarify the concept of volunteer motivation more precisely, the researcher relied on the model of (Clary & et al. 1998). The researcher chose the descriptive correlational approach to study the two variables and reveal the relationship between them and the extent to which they are affected by other factors (gender and specialization), relying on the scale of (Hannah, et al. 2011) to measure moral potency and the scale of (Clary & et al., 1998) to measure volunteer motivation. Both were translated into Arabic using a scientific translation method. The researcher found a correlation between moral potency and volunteer motivation among university lecturers, and no statistically significant differences based on gender (male/female) and specialization (scientific/humanitarian). The researcher then developed a set of recommendations and proposals.
