Impact of Social Responsibility Dimensions on Achieving Sustainable Development Goals: A Qualitative Study on the Abu Dhabi Police Service

Abstract

This study explored the impact of social responsibility dimensions on achieving Sustainable Development Goals as a qualitative study on the Abu Dhabi Police Service. The study adopted the qualitative analysis methodology through the grounded theory described by Strauss and Corbin (1994). The study population represents all employees in the Abu Dhabi Police Department (considered confidential). The study tool will be face-to-face interviews with (50) individuals in the Abu Dhabi Police Department, representing all departments and directorates, and including all job titles. The study concluded that the phrase “Ineffective institutional plans” was a probable key category that led to validating the perceived hypothesis. Therefore, and in the emerging categories, the key category surfaced was that informants engaged in the impact of social responsibility dimensions on achieving Sustainable Development Goals to get “Effective institutional plans” over their work. Progressively, the informants accomplished their exploitation of ongoing police tasks and established this “Ineffective institutional plans” concept. This key category has thus generated behaviors that caused positive and negative impacts on the students, which could be regarded as the phenomena in the current research.
