Introduction: Filling the knowledge gap that arises from the relationship between behavioral theories and socio-environmental management, this research aims to update global guidelines on sustainability, adding the perceptions of individuals and ensuring originality through context analysis of the Legal Amazon. The overall objective is to study the attitudes of individuals involved in socio-environmental management in Amazonian organizations. In this context, institutional, socio-environmental, and behavioral theories are confronted with the attitudinal predispositions of individuals to propose adequate predictors for the development of the Amazon region. The survey method was used, by applying a questionnaire to respondents, to quantitatively describe a complex social phenomenon involving psychological perspectives prevalent in a given social group. Sustainable development is characterized by the valorization of identity culture, while the institutional environment points to the need to reproduce management models sensitive to the Amazonian context, minimizing cognitive risks by disregarding experiential knowledge and solutions. The change in development perspective would be associated with the strengthening of links between social actors, through governance, innovation, and training, in a call for action to transform the institutional environment. The concept of predictors proposes solutions for a system that interacts through the actions of individuals and decisions of organizations responsible for behaving in the direction of sustainable development. This is an interesting challenge to present to readers, local communities, the scientific community, government officials, investors, business leaders, global society, and others interested in how Amazonian institutional agents think about socio-environmental management practices available in the literature. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate attitudinal measures of individuals involved in socio-environmental management within Amazonian organizations. This research intends to support future investigations and assist organizations in utilizing socio-environmental management methods. By fostering decision-making processes that value the systemic development of the environment and society through governance, based on data collection and knowledge generation aligned with the perceptions of local residents. Theoretical Framework: This section presents the main concepts and theories underpinning this research. Key among these are Institutional Theory, Behavioral Theories, Socio-environmental Management models, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks, and sociotechnical modeling, providing a solid foundation for understanding the investigation's context. Method: The methodology adopted for this research is quantitative, employing a survey method designed to analyze the perceived links between science and behavioral predispositions by quantifying responses to objective questions. Data collection was conducted through the application of a self-administered questionnaire containing structured, sequenced statements, where respondents could provide scaled answers regarding their perceptions of the presented variables. Results and Discussion: The obtained results reveal that the locality has faced conflicts since its discovery, undergoing successive stages of colonization. It possesses a vast natural territorial extension with demarcated and regulated environmental preservation areas, rich in biodiversity, and with strong unique cultural values, stemming from the interaction of different national and international colonizing cultures. The local culture was forged in this scenario and now continues to influence and be influenced by global interaction facilitated by communication media. In this context, behavioral predictors were identified for individuals and organizations to impact the interaction between these important social actors, thereby leading to better individual actions and organizational decisions. The goal is to transform the institutional environment and promote development suitable for the desires and needs of the local population. Individuals are oriented towards developing behavioral and socio-environmental factors such as awareness, identification, relationships, connection, influence, rejection, learning, research, participation, creation, oversight, and investment. Organizations, on the other hand, are directed towards socio-environmental cognitive factors including co-creation, incentive, education, influence, connection, communication, governance, innovation, technology, transparency, regulation, and subsidy.Given these identified behavioral and socio-environmental predictors, the field of Administration Science offers methodologies capable of educating individuals and organizations in each of these recommendations. This includes techniques available in theoretical topics-such as Knowledge Management, Stakeholder Management, Transformational Leadership, and Innovation Management-or in methodological topics-like Governance, Decision-Making, Coalition and Network Building, Compliance, and ESG. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the identified implications and relationships. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section. Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, offering insights into how the results can be applied and influence practices in the field. This study provides valuable managerial contributions derived from its findings, particularly through the development of organizational predictors aligned with the behavioral intentions of local individuals. These implications extend beyond traditional investigations into characteristics of potential socio-environmental phenomena or technological solutions as mere measures capable of innovating and changing our reality. Instead, human behavior is leveraged as the cornerstone of transformation, driven by societal interests. This approach significantly increases the likelihood of these practices being adopted and positively impacting life and its interactions with the natural environment, fostered by cultural propagation, acceptance, and synergistic collaboration among all stakeholders. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the existing literature by delving into the relationship between behavioral theories and socio-environmental management concepts. It critically analyzes global methodologies and projects implemented in specific contexts, aiming to promote adaptations that connect local communities with best practices in socio-environmental management. The study proposes a construct of socio-environmentally acceptable attitudinal measures, emerging from the exploration of local cultural characteristics and giving voice to underrepresented groups. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the insights gleaned from the responses expressed by local individuals regarding their perceived institutional environment. This reveals a strong attitudinal anchoring among them to transform local realities based on sustainable development, leveraging cultural, intellectual, and experiential factors as valuable assets available in the region. Associated with the attitudinal anchoring of individuals is the perceived opportunity gap in organizational decisions to more strongly promote this environment, which is in dire need of effective socio-environmental actions.
