Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between social responsibility and the performance of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. EVA, MVA, Q-Tobin index, KZ index, ROA and ROE are considered as performance indicators. The study was carried out from 2006 to 2010. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) variable has been scored using a questionnaire, and sample size includes 79 participants. Hypothesis testing has been performed at two steps: the first phase, using the data of 2010 and the second phase, using the mean of the data of 2006-2010. Multiple regression analysis (OLS) and Eviews 7 software have been used to test the hypotheses.
