A responsabilidade social é um aspecto vital da sustentabilidade econômica, ambiental e social que ajuda a melhorar a qualidade de vida na sociedade. O presente estudo foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar o nível de atitude ambiental e responsabilidade social em relação ao meio ambiente entre os alunos e seu treinamento para o desenvolvimento sustentável da Prince Satam Bin Abdulaziz University (PSAU) na província de Al-Kharj. Este estudo incluiu 408 alunos do sexo masculino e feminino da PSAU. Os pesquisadores usaram os critérios de sustentabilidade ambiental e responsabilidade social em relação ao meio ambiente. Usando uma abordagem analítica descritiva, especialmente o método de correlação preditiva, este estudo examinou o padrão de relações entre variáveis e sua capacidade preditiva. Os resultados mostraram altos níveis de sustentabilidade ambiental e responsabilidade social em relação ao meio ambiente entre a amostra. Uma correlação positiva e estatisticamente significativa foi observada entre a atitude de sustentabilidade ambiental e responsabilidade social. Além disso, os resultados mostraram a capacidade de prever a responsabilidade social a partir de atitudes de sustentabilidade ambiental entre a amostra estudada. De acordo com os resultados, pode-se dizer que a educação dos alunos pode fornecer sua responsabilidade social pela proteção ambiental e desenvolvimento sustentável.References
