This is because such decision has involves the allocation of money as is known currently over a period of time, in order to make a profit in future and also be subject to different degrees of risk and uncertainty. However, this paper has an objective to validate the measurements of investment decision in the banking sector in Libya. Moreover, this paper provides comprehensive information on the investment decision in Libyan commercial banks, as well as gaining an understanding on the dimensions of customers' decisions to invest. Structural equation modeling using 2 nd order CFA was employed to validate the measurements. The findings confirmed financial ability, perceived usefulness, product and company attributes and knowledge and past experiences as dimensions of investment decision. The present study has a fundamental contribution as a role model for the investment decision measurements in Libya
