Abstract

Social entrepreneurship (SE) represents an emerging form of entrepreneurship that prioritizes the creation of social value for society and all stakeholders. This study integrates hybrid perspectives—psychological, social, and institutional- to examine four key resource clusters: personality traits, external support, and social impact. It empirically investigates their predictive influence on the mental well-being of Tunisian social entrepreneurs. The research aims to identify both internal and external resources that enhance entrepreneurs’ mental well-being. Drawing on a diverse sample of 250 Tunisian social entrepreneurs across various sectors, structural equation modeling (AMOS 21) confirmed all proposed hypotheses. The findings are discussed with reference to their theoretical contributions and managerial implications.
