Abstract


This objective of this study is to identify the factors which influence the sustainability of the quality performance at Petra University from the faculty members’ points of view. The participants were the teaching staff from the University of Petra. Out of 283 staff, 103 members took part in this study. A questionnaire consisting of 34 items was developed. The results showed that governance, educational programs, job satisfaction, and job performance were significant factors for the sustainability of quality performances at the University of Petra. The results also revealed that there is a meaningful relationship between sustainable factors and gender, while no significant differences could be attributed to academic rank or college type. Thus, these factors were recommended to be enhanced and developed based on quality standards.
