“…An increasing proportion of literature evidenced that a training program could enhance the students' success in universities in terms of personal skills, social skills, social behavior and academic success (Meyer, Fletcher & Parker, 2004;Parker et al, 2005). However, evidence on the potential use of training in enhancing social and academic success of university students is still scarce (Low & Nelson, 2003;Li, Wright, Rukavina, & Pickering, 2008). Hence, the present study attempted to determine whether training program sessions could improve the self-confidence, self-awareness, self-assertiveness, social interaction, problem-solving and tolerance responsibility skills among Saudi university students.…”

In response to this urging, the present study attempted to create a training program to improve the students' skills and to bring about the success of students in terms of social and academic skills at the university (i.e.…”

“…Social responsibility has also long been an important field of research for both academics and business practitioners and continues to provide a valuable research area for those wishing to investigate modern societal issues [13,14]. Social responsibility has been the focus of research that has investigated business social responsibility by exploring and comparing the perspectives of businesses and social workers [15], investigated the relationship between perceptions of personal and social responsibility and intrinsic motivation in the field of education [16] and explored social responsibility as a factor when investigating genetic and environmental components of pro-social attitudes [17]. These studies indicate that personal responsibility for behaviour is important to increase resilience and understanding how people perceive themselves and each other in relation to a particular aspect may be a useful way of investigating that aspect itself.…”
