Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the relationship and predictability between the roles of leaders in Saudi public universities in consolidating the dimensions of learning organizations (universities) and their abilities in confronting COVID 19 pandemic challenges. A total of 228 leaders in three Saudi public universities took part in the current study. A questionnaire was designed for collecting data, which consisted of general data, The Dimensions of Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ), and Confronting COVID 19 Pandemic Challenges Scale (CCPCS) developed by the researcher of this study. The results of the study showed a positive relationship between the roles of leaders in Saudi public universities in consolidating the dimensions of learning organizations (universities) and their abilities in confronting COVID 19 pandemic challenges, and that these roles of leaders are good predictors of these abilities. Results also indicate that there are no significant differences in both study scales across gender, age, academic qualifications, and years of work experience. It is recommended to increase the leaders’ roles in the Saudi public universities in consolidating the dimensions of the learning organization, as this has an impact on their abilities in in confronting COVID 19 Pandemic challenges.
