Abstract

The study aimed at revealing the application of good governance in Jordanian universities and its relationship to the ability to solve administrative problems from the point of view of faculty members. The sample of the study consisted of (330) members of the Faculties of Educational Sciences, and the study was conducted in the academic year 2020/2021. Using the descriptive research method, the researchers designed a questionnaire as a study tool and verified its validity and stability. The findings showed that good governance in Jordanian universities was at a high level, with the absence of statistically significant differences in good government by gender or years of experience. The findings also showed a high level of ability to solve administrative problems by the heads of academic departments in the faculties of educational sciences, with no statistically significant differences in the ability to solve administrative problems by gender or years of experience. There was a positive relationship between the degree of good governance and the ability to solve administrative problems.
