This study aimed to evaluate the application of institutional accreditation standards at the Higher Institute of Marine Sciences Technologies in Sabratha from the perspective of its employees and faculty members, analyze the level of awareness of these standards, and assess the role of academic leadership in their implementation. The study relied on the descriptive-analytical approach using a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 87 individuals, including faculty members and staff at the institute. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, calculating means, standard deviations, and percentages. The results showed a moderate level of awareness regarding institutional accreditation standards, yet the application of these standards in the fields of teaching and administration remains insufficiently effective. The study also revealed several challenges, including a lack of financial and human resources, weak quality culture, and inadequate effective evaluation mechanisms. On the other hand, the role of academic and administrative leadership in supporting the implementation of standards was limited, despite the importance of some measures such as increased financial support and training. Regarding recommendations, the study suggested improving training on institutional accreditation standards, enhancing financial and human resources, and establishing effective evaluation mechanisms. It also recommended increasing faculty participation in evaluation and promoting a culture of quality and accreditation through awareness activities. As for proposals, the study advised establishing a specialized unit to train staff and developing a strategic plan to improve academic performance based on continuous evaluation results. Keywords: Institutional Accreditation Standards, Employees and Faculty Members, Higher Institute of Marine Sciences Technologies in Sabratha.
