Abstract

Social responsibility is a coping strategy to respond to social, environmental, and sustainable development concerns. Various factors can affect responsibility, life satisfaction is one of the important factors affecting social responsibility and it is one of the factors that can affect different parts of life in society. The current research aims to explain the relationship between life satisfaction and social responsibility, which was done after the end of the Covid-19 pandemic. The present research was carried out quantitatively and through a survey, the target society was the citizens of Tabriz between 18 and 70 years of age, and 384 people were selected and analyzed as a statistical sample based on Cochran's formula. The findings obtained from the analysis of the research data show that a significant and direct relationship between life satisfaction and social responsibility can be seen. Also, the obtained results show that people's social responsibility is different according to their gender, education, job, and income, but the age of the respondents has no relationship with their social responsibility.
