Abstract :

Social responsibility is one of the most important components of the Islamic lifestyle, and its implementation requires a complete understanding of this term. Understanding responsibility in all aspects, including the relationship with oneself, God, the universe, others and life events leads to the promotion of social responsibility in the society. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating women's self-awareness of social responsibility by explaining the mediating role of adherence to Islamic moral values. The research method was mixed (qualitative-quantitative) and exploratory. The statistical population in the content analysis included verses of the Qur'an, hadiths and traditions of the innocents (PBUH), books and articles in the field of Islamic education about women's self-awareness. In the Delphi method, the participants were all specialists in social sciences and Islamic sciences, and ten specialists were selected using a targeted method. In the content analysis section, the sample was equal to the population. In the quantitative dimension, the statistical population was all the women of Tabriz, 384 of whom were selected by available sampling. The research tools included the questionnaire of social responsibility, Islamic moral values, and the researcher-made questionnaire of women's self-awareness. In the qualitative dimension, the dimensions of women's self-awareness were identified. Also, confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis was performed. Finally, five components were extracted. The results in the quantitative dimension showed that women's self-awareness has a significant effect on social responsibility. Also, the effect of adherence to Islamic moral values has a significant effect on social responsibility. The results of the Sobel test confirmed the mediating role of adherence to Islamic moral values between women's self-awareness and social responsibility.
