Abstract
This research paper aims to understand the personality of the owner/manager of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and identify their most important characteristics.

The key results were derived from a questionnaire based on a field study involving 59 SMEs in several states of western Algeria. The study found that these SMEs are managed by a single individual who bears full responsibility for management and possesses a set of demographic, behavioral, and psychological characteristics, which can be summarized as follows: independence in management, a sense of control, a reluctance to take risks, and an economic orientation.
