Abstract
The objective of this study was to exploring the social responsibility of the oil and gas industry in the local community. Used a thematic content analysis strategy with an inductive approach. Based on purposive sampling, 35 people participated in this study and theoretical saturation was obtained using semi-structured interviews. After conducting the interview and gathering information, the obtained codes were analyzed in different sections, and after identifying the concepts and categories, the main theme was obtained. The main theme was "deficiency of institutionalization of social responsibility of the oil and gas company in the local community before and after the implementation of projects." The findings indicate that the non-institutionalization of social responsibility of the oil and gas industry started from the lack of legal acceptance, which subsequently led to the non-acceptance of the environment. It has led to economic intolerance and weak humanitarian acceptance in the local community. A comparison between the themes of industry social responsibility in the local community shows the illegality of industry in the legal, environmental and economic fields. In the social and humanitarian dimensions, the narrative of weak actions and activities is the social responsibility of the industry in these dimensions and the lack of transparency in the industry, which indicates the limited and weak empiricism of the social responsibility of the industry in the local community. Corporate social responsibility is not embedded in the local community as an important business strategy.
