Abstract: Taking an interest in supporting entrepreneurs is very important. In this research work, we addressed the question of the influence of the existence of the psychological contract on the success of the entrepreneur-coach relationship. Our empirical field is made up of novice Tunisian entrepreneurs. We followed a quantitative methodology by collecting data from 350 novice entrepreneurs. The results show that the success of the entrepreneur-coach relationship is conditioned by the existence of the psychological contract.

Keywords: psychological contract; entrepreneur; coach; relationship; support.
