Given that the Social Security Organization had significant experience in corporate social responsibility, the questionnaire was sent to the corporate employees of the Social Security Organization of West Azerbaijan Province as a link, and finally 206 questionnaires were received.

The results showed that corporate social responsibility had a significant effect on job satisfaction management. Job satisfaction, in turn, had a positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction management.
