Abstract

Civil society and the university constitute two fundamental pillars in the construction and development of modern societies. The former represents a space for active participation and voluntary work, while the latter serves as a beacon of science and knowledge. At the heart of this system, the university professor emerges as a crucial link, combining their academic role with their societal impact. This study examined the relationship between university professors and civil society, targeting a random sample of 155 professors from the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at the University of Djelfa. It aimed to explore the extent to which the symbolic authority of university professors influences the effectiveness of civil society. The research findings confirmed the existence of a positive relationship between the symbolic authority of university professors and the effectiveness of civil society. This was manifested through three main dimensions of symbolic authority: habitus authority, cultural authority, and moral authority. These results highlight the pivotal and vital role played by university professors in shaping societal awareness and promoting civic values and volunteerism.
