“…On the other hand, other interpretations of the entrepreneurial process are proposed by sociological theories that, like the structuration theory (Giddens, 1984;Osorio and al., 2017;Pouka and Nomo, 2022), equate it with an "emergence process" (Bouchikhi, 1993;Cevik Onar and al., 2017;Bramwell and al., 2019;Qureshi and Mian, 2018), as both classical and contemporary conceptions establish the connection of this process with the cultural context (Gillet, 2003;Sarkar and al., 2019;Tibaingana and al., 2022;Bakkali and al., 2016), the learning provided during coaching (Minguet, 1993;Dokou, 2018) and the specific characteristics of the entrepreneur and his environment (Schmitt and al. , 2016;Kuyken and al., 2022).…”

“…This legitimization is apprehended through the appreciation of the coherence of the triptych entrepreneur/ environment/ project and not through the validation of the project by entrepreneurs who have been fully successful (Taktak-Kallel, 2018). (Brechet and Schieb-Bienfait, 2011;Qazi and al., 2020;Tibaingana and al., 2022), for their part, maintain that this legitimization is manifested through a pronounced interest in the promoter and his project, in the functional sense, to orient his "projective action".…”

“…For (PAUL, 2009;Rhattat, 2020;Tibaingana and al., 2022;Hadzic and Pavlovic, 2017), these elements make the accompanied person occupy the position of subject-actor and not that of taken in charge. In this sense, he/she does not have to be simply receptive to the instructions and directives formalized by the experts (Audet and Couteret, 2005;Kimathi, 2017;Tremblay and al., 2022;Penov and Georgiev, 2021).…”

Entrepreneurial support, its determinants, its articulation, and its actors are always analyzed from both processual and emergent perspectives. Because a certain level of coherence must be maintained, public structures that are perceived as not opting for a process/emergence mix in their support systems are not hostile to using it when the context permits it and when the person receiving support accepts to be at the center of the design of his or her support. Literature reveals that a compromise between these two approaches has neither been established nor, as far as we are aware, exhaustively investigated. This research sought to highlight the processual nature of both the form and substance of entrepreneurial support. To achieve this, we administered a qualitative survey to 21 Tunisian business proprietors. The results indicate that in the Tunisian context, accompaniment is structurally processual and superimposed on an entrepreneurial process that both the accompaniers and the accompanied co-pilot in order to maintain coherence and complementarity during the training of the accompanied in the trade of entrepreneur. In addition, coaching is fundamentally and intrinsically emergent because it is geared toward endogenous action, co-constructed, and contextualized due to the prominence of personalized learning needs and the coachee's situational framework in relation to the enterprise he or she must establish.

Purpose Does trait mindfulness enhance refugees' potential to engage in entrepreneurial activities? Entrepreneurship is increasingly used for the socioeconomic integration of refugees and as an approach to attaining refugees' self-reliance. This study aims to explore the effects of trait mindfulness on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) antecedent variables and, consequently, refugees' entrepreneurial and implementation intentions in a low-income context. Design/methodology/approach The study uses data collected from 398 refugees from three settlements in Uganda. Participants completed a survey questionnaire related to the constructs in the TPB model (attitudes, subjective norm [SN], perceived behavioral control [PBC] and entrepreneurial intentions), trait mindfulness and intention to implement their entrepreneurial intentions. The paper uses serial mediation analysis conducted in PROCESS Macro. Findings As predicted, trait mindfulness was positively associated with the constructs in the TPB model and implementation intention. The three antecedent variables in the TPB model and entrepreneurial intentions mediated the association between trait mindfulness and implementation intention. In addition, the double mediation paths involving the TPB antecedent constructs and entrepreneurial intention were significant except for the path via SN and entrepreneurial intentions. Originality/value The paper provides insights for integrating trait mindfulness and the TPB model to predict refugees' entrepreneurial intentions and behavior. The study has explored the usefulness of trait mindfulness to the constructs in the TPB model, suggesting that mindfulness interventions can strengthen entrepreneurial attitudes, SN and PBC, consequently boosting entrepreneurial intentions and the likelihood of acting on one’s entrepreneurial intentions.
