Abstract
This paper identifies the most affecting factors that enhance the quality of the decision making process within some Libyan oil and gas companies. Based on the developed questionnaire along with the literature review, the analysis showed that it is a challenge to processing the proper procedure for making decisions. However, most decision makers are found to be focusing on using simple tools for making their decisions, whereas, lacking of an effective communication network during making decisions are considered with a negative impact on making the proper decisions within most surveyed companies. Furthermore, it was found that, the procedures for making decisions within most surveyed companies could be considered as the most crucial for improving the quality of the decision making processes, followed by the used tools and techniques, whereas, communications as a factor influencing the processes of making decisions is found to be at the lowest level throughout the entire decision making processes. arabic 15 English 98
