The important aspects of a dynamical system are its stability and the factors that affect its stability. In this paper, we present an analysis of the effects of the albedo and the disc on the zero velocity curves, the existence of equilibrium points and their linear stability in a generalized restricted three-body problem (RTBP). The proposed problem consists of the motion of an infinitesimal mass under the gravitational field of a radiating-oblate primary, an oblate secondary and a disc that is rotating about the common centre of mass of the system. Significant effects of the albedo and the disc are observed on the zero velocity curves, on the positions of equilibrium points and on the stability region. A linear stability analysis of collinear equilibrium points L_1, 2, 3_ is performed with respect to the mass parameter µ and albedo parameter Q_A of the secondary, separately. It is found that L_1, 2, 3_ are unstable in both cases. However, the non-collinear equilibrium points L_4, 5_ are stable in a finite range of mass ratio µ. After analysing the individual as well as combined effects of the radiation pressure force of the primary, the albedo force of the secondary, the oblateness of both the primary and secondary and the disc, it is found that these perturbations play a significant role in the design of the trajectories in the vicinity of equilibrium points and in the analysis of their stability property. In the future, the results obtained will improve existing results and will help in the analysis of different space missions. These results are limited to the regular symmetric disc and radiation pressure, which can be extended later.
