If citzenship rights continue to be observed, they will accomplish the main pillars of sustainable development in the system and government. The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for the implementation of civil rights based on public policy in Iranian government organizations. This research is exploratory in terms of purpose and employed the method of building data theory and the method of Strauss and Corbin. Participants in the study, who were selecetd using the method of purposeful judgment sampling, included experts, policymakers, managers, and researchers active in the field of civil rights. Based on the results of open and central coding, causal factors affecting the implementation of citizenship rights include: employee quality of life, freedom of expression, accountability, organizational culture and upstream documents; factors including background and developmental skills and team building; cultural requirements consisting of social and legal requirements, executive power and information technology infrastructure; and intervening factors comprimising of managerial challenges, organizational challenges, legal barriers, and policy-governance. Furthermore, the strategies required to enforce civil rights include discovering talent, thinking, self-confidence, new media, networking, and constructive communication. In addition, the consequences of enforcing civil rights consisted of responsibility and love of work, cohesiveness, uplifting behaviour, maintaining dignity, self-esteem, and the human values of the employees.
