Social responsibilities could meet the needs of stakeholders invariably. Financial transparency is a key component of social responsibility and the mechanism of corporate leadership principles. The present study aimed to assess the effects and levels of various influential factors in realizing social responsibilities based on the mechanism of corporate leadership principles with an emphasis on financial transparency. We attempted to validate and grade four main factors in this research, including mandating, monitoring, infrastructural, and structural factors. For this purpose, a questionnaire was developed to assess the data of 256 corporate managers and determine the associations between these factors in the form of four main hypotheses using path analysis. According to the findings, the four mentioned factors were confirmed in terms of their impact on the realization of social responsibilities based on the mechanism of corporate leadership principles with an emphasis on financial transparency. In addition, infrastructural factors had the most significant effect on the realization of social responsibilities based on corporate governance then, Monitoring, Structural, and Mandating factors are influential, respectively. Research findings are consistent with the theoretical framework of the stakeholder theory.
