Abstract : Investment decisions are considered the most challenging resolutions to be taken by decision makers because of the high-risk involved and as being difficult to reverse or modify. Yet, due to the significance of such decisions, companies also consider the behavioral and social factors that could influence investment decision-making processes. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to examine the impact of social and behavioral factors on the investment decision-making processes in the Saudi Joint-Stock Companies. This was achieved by following both the deductive approach in the theoretical part and the analytical descriptive approach in the empirical part of the current study. In the field study, questionnaires were developed and distributed to (200) investment decision-makers in the Saudi Joint-Stock Companies (commercial, industrial and financial subsectors). One hundred and four responses were received. The results displayed a number of findings; for example, it was found that because decision makers are aware of the significance of investment decisions for the survival of their firms, therefore the formal process approach is more preferred to be employed. Findings have also shown that decision makers’ social and behavioral factors influence investment decisions, such as manager’s participation style significantly affect the quality of investment decisions. In the light of the study findings, a number of recommendations have been proposed; such as, investment decisions should be carefully planned. Moreover, it is highly recommended to conduct feasibility studies for the investment projects in order to reach objective and high-quality investment decisions. Finally, decision-makers’ social and behavioral factors should be taken into account to achieve the goals of the firm by making rational investment decisions.
