Findings showed causal factors: social culture, social status, sports privileges, sports philosophy; Underlying factors: ethics, spirituality, organizational support, family-centered, responsibility; Interfering factors: awareness, planning, support, macro limitations; Central phenomenon: participation, empathy, authority, benevolent presence, communication, support for the deprived, environmental support, appreciation. Also strategies: social relations, support, awareness, motivation, validation, planning; Implications also include: athlete brand, health-oriented sport, social improvement and culture building. Implementing the athlete’s social responsibility model and focusing on development of its components, sports managers can influence the athletes participation and subsequently the participation of the society in social activities and achieve the social goals of sports in society. The application of the model is important since knowing the relationships between the factors of the model can give managers and athletes a better understanding and have a more scientific view of the phenomenon in question.

Three questionnaires were used to collect information: Eidi and colleagues' professional ethics questionnaire (1395), the researcher-made citizenship ethics questionnaire and Bakhshande social responsibility questionnaire (1391). Collected data were analyzed by inferential methods such as Pearson correlation coefficient, Sobel test and structural equation model. The results of the research showed that there is a significant relationship between professional ethics and its components, and social responsibility and its components with the citizens' ethics of the supporters.
