When analyzing the regression model, the arithmetic value of (F) for strategic planning was 1396.014, indicating a strong significant effect, while (R2) was 0.825, which means that 82.5% of the changes in social responsibility can be explained by strategic planning. Finally, Kolmogorov-Smirnova and ShapiroWilk tests confirmed that the data follow a normal distribution, which supports the reliability of the results.
