Abstract

The current study aimed to reveal the level of strategies for coping with psychological stress among entrepreneurs, in addition to showing the most used methods among sample members. Based on the descriptive approach appropriate to the nature of the subject, the Brief-Coping (1997) scale of strategies for coping with psychological stress was used, as it was applied to a cross-sectional sample estimated at (30) individuals from Algerian entrepreneurs. After analyzing the data, we reached results indicating the existence of an average level of strategies for coping with psychological stress, in addition to entrepreneurs' reliance on adaptive methods to manage psychological stress such as planning, positive reinterpretation, acceptance, active coping style, and searching for procedural social support, and their distancing from non-adaptive methods: psychological materials, denial, and behavioral withdrawal
