Abstract The current study identifies the responsibility
of the faculty members at Yarmouk University in achieving
quality in higher education. To achieve the objectives of
the study, the descriptive-analytical method is employed.
The study sample consists of the faculty members at
Yarmouk University in the academic year 2019-2020. The
results show that the quality of higher education depends
on the quality of the faculty member‟s performance and has
several basic determinants, including mastery, righteous
deed, and beneficence. The results also show that to
achieve quality in the faculty member‟s performance, a
large number of requirements shall be met such as sincerity
and loyalty at work, advantageous work, working as best as
possible. Moreover, it is found that quality in education is
reached through the efforts made by senior university
management and faculty members. Besides, the results also
show that to reach accreditation at universities, individual
and collective responsibility is required. The results also
show that the administration of the university is also
responsible, namely: the faculty members are obligated to
teach, conduct research, and serve the society with utmost
quality. Furthermore, it is found that the government, i.e.
the Accreditation Board is required to monitor universities
and ensure that they achieve quality in teaching,
conducting research, and serving the community and
society.

these institutions (Abo Daf, 2007).
