Abstract

A travers l'étude exploratoire des parcours de quinze paysans malgaches ayant bénéficié de plusieurs microcrédits, nous questionnons les relations possibles entre ce dispositif et le réengagement entrepreneurial des bénéficiaires dans le cadre de très petites entreprises agricoles au sein de sociétés rurales traditionnelles. Transposant le modèle établi par Valéau (2007) à ce contexte, nous focalisons notre attention sur les dimensions psychologiques de ce processus. Nous examinons tout d'abord les doutes et les contradictions liées aux conditions de vie, mais aussi à un contexte traditionnel rural où l'innovation n'est pas la norme. Nos résultats montrent qu'à partir de conditions relativement similaires, les individus rencontrés se différencient progressivement les uns des autres au regard de leur réengagement entrepreneurial et, ce faisant, des stratégies et des performances de leur très petite entreprise. Nous identifions trois formes de réengagements tour à tour fondés sur la subsistance, la diversification et la croissance. Différentes pistes pour de futures recherches et des implications pratiques en matière de sélection et d'accompagnement des bénéficiaires sont discutées en opposant à un point de vue exclusivement commercial, des approches sociales et solidaires.
