The purpose of this study is to rank the antecedent indicators of social responsibility in human resource management of the Real Estate Administration of Iraq. The statistical population of the study consisted of 350 employees and managers of the Real Estate Administration of Iraq. Using Morgan’s table and the stratified random sampling method, a sample of 185 participants was selected. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire, the validity of which was confirmed through convergent and divergent validity, while its reliability was verified using Cronbach’s alpha (0.947). Inferential data analysis was conducted using the Friedman test. The ranking of the antecedents of social responsibility in human resource management showed that the first rank belongs to organizational factors, which in order include the components of: (1) organizational strategy, (2) required resources, (3) leadership and management, (4) relations and structure, and (5) organizational culture. The second rank belongs to environmental factors, which in order include the components of: (1) general laws and regulations, (2) social and environmental conditions, and (3) stakeholder pressure and participation. The third rank is assigned to functional human resource factors, which in order include the components of: (1) compensation, (2) recruitment, (3) performance evaluation, and (4) training. Therefore, it is recommended that both long-term and short-term goals focus on areas such as employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, sustainable development, and social participation in the domain of human resource management. Furthermore, policies should be designed on the basis of individuals’ competencies and capabilities, while preventing any form of gender, racial, religious, ethnic, or other discrimination.
