This research investigated the effect of social responsibility on organizational commitment with the role of mediation of organizational development. The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population consisted of all employees of the sports and youth departments of South Khorasan Province. Due to the limited statistical population, the statistical sample was considered equal to the statistical population (N = 180). For data gathering after verifying validity and reliability, three questionnaires on organizational development (Spidez, 2007), organizational social responsibility (Carroll, 1991), and organizational commitment (Allen & Meyer, 1990) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling. The results showed that social responsibility directly and significantly affects organizational development (β=0/83). Social responsibility also positively and directly affects organizational commitment (β=0.47). Also, organizational development positively and directly affects organizational commitment (β=0.31). Also, social responsibility indirectly and significantly affects organizational commitment (β=0/31). Finally, all fitting indicators of the model indicated fit. Therefore, the emphasis on the importance of social responsibility and its observance by the organization's employees, along with attention to organizational development programs, can positively affect organizational commitment, which significantly affects the employees' commitment.
