AbstractThe purpose of this research was to design an assessment model for social security policies with a public participation approach. The method of collecting information is by conducting in-depth interviews with experts and university professors and extracting from documents and theoretical foundations of the research and using experts' opinions to design the model. Also, in order to determine the validity of the questionnaire, content validity (experts' point of view) and construct validity were used using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The research results indicate that the first step for public participation in policy evaluation; Identifying the stakeholders in the organization, not identifying the interests of a group of main stakeholders, brings the risk of failure of the stakeholder participation process; Although the involvement of all stakeholders in the decision-making process is not the same, all parties must be identified and understood. Therefore, the interaction and proper management of stakeholders should be an essential part of the management duties of organizations, so that the management of public issues can be defined as the management of responding to different stakeholders of organizations.
