For qualitative research, 44 socially responsible organizations were chosen and all information provided in the websites of organizations was evaluated. For quantitative research, three socially responsible organizations were chosen. Research results show that strong organizational culture in socially responsible organizations help to become stronger and create additional value for both employees and customers .
