Abstract: The study aims to examine the strategic role of work environment satisfaction on performance of staff of oil refineries in Algeria. The study uses Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to explain conceptual paradigms and risk perception and work environmental factors for understanding workplace risk behaviour. Literature review methodology is used to explore the area of research. The findings explore the literature in terms of Perceptions of risk as an integral portion of the policymaking process in oil and gas industries. The study shows risk perception in workplaces can influence employees' behaviour and, consequently, their exposure to some occupational risks. However, safety systems should be designed to reduce the amount of risk in different session of worksite. Expressing and evaluating the tolerable amount of risk is very difficult. This study provides rich insight of literatures that have been missing in relation to suitable conceptual framework on working conditions in oil sector especially in Algeria...
