Abstract: The role of organizational factors in fostering and enhancing environmental sustainability has become increasingly critical due to the growing trends and concerns of environmental degradation. Developing nations have been reported to be significantly challenged with regard to adequate environmental management. As a developing nation, Libya is environmentally vulnerable in terms of both its geographical characteristics as a country in a semi-arid region and its resource-dependent economy. This research investigates the interplay among corporate environmental motivations, perceptions of corporate environmental management practices, pro-environmental attitudes, and pro-environmental behaviors among the employees of Libya’s oil sector. Libya provides a relevant context for investigating the impact of socioeconomic and corporate institutional dynamics on environmental engagement within industrial organizations. This research explores individual-level factors and how they interact with the practices of corporate environmental sustainability in a corporate sector characterized by significant and critical ecological impact. This study analyzed employee responses across multiple oil companies operating in Libya. This study sheds light on the extent to which the impacts of corporate sustainability motivations and workplace contexts shape the perceptions and behaviors of employees towards environmental sustainability. The findings of this research underscore the interconnectedness of organizational and personal dimensions of environmental sustainability, with further impacts policy and practices of environmental sustainability in similar contexts.
