In addition, the population of research includes the entire managers and experts of Tehran’s pharmaceutical firms. By the use of the Cochran’s formula, the sample size was determined as 240 individuals. The samples were collected based on a simple random sampling method. Research data are collected through field studies and library investigations. The research instrument was a questionnaire and the reliability of the questionnaire was calculated as 0.846 through the Cronbach’s alpha method. Research data were analyzed through the application of LISREL software and by the use of inferential and descriptive statistical tests. Results of this research indicate that orientation of legal environment (9.35); work environment (8.95) and awareness environment (4.84) have positive effects on moral marketing.
