This study involves attitudinal measures by public agents committed to the environment, society and governance. It seeks to build idealists in socio-environmental management in the Amazon, promoting the induction of behaviours that lack a logical methodology to support solutions in a strategy for sustainability. The question to be raised here is: What attitudinal measures could be adopted by public agents in responsible socio-environmental governance? To answer this question, the general objective is to investigate the attitudinal measures of public officials in the face of their commitment to socio-environmental management in organisations. Thus, the content analysis method and related procedures were applied through bibliographic and documentary surveys made available on platforms such as ANPAD’s Spell, Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science, using keywords and Boolean criteria. Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action was used in the analysis. The results made it possible to carry out a critical study that is valid in empirical experiments, which makes it possible to outline measures for the development of socio-environmental actions; it considered participatory and collaborative management models, environmental diagnosis in organisations; it offers the reader a SWOT framework in the face of a middle-up-down structure, through which knowledge creation is induced; it focuses on the institutional tactical level, aligning knowledge management processes involving leadership, coordination, control and measurement; it outlines the establishment of sustainability indicators, making it possible to measure socio-environmental performance in public organisations. This is an academic contribution to those interested in promoting socio-environmental management in the public sector, pointing to innovative practices as valid models to be considered in optimal decision-making.
