Abstract: Agricultural activities are affected by the decisions that farmers make every day. The factors that are decisive in making decisions cannot be foreseen with great accuracy. The purpose of this study is to explore the psychosocial and contextual factors that are related to agricultural entrepreneurs. Respondents were given the opportunity to be as honest as possible about what they believe is preventing them from achieving high performance in managing their agricultural activities. The risk and stress factors and, respectively, the methods of measuring their impact were taken into consideration, choosing various characteristics such as the typology of the factors, the duration of the manifestation, the intensity of the felt effect, the frequency of the contact of the people with the factors. The study found that there is concern and attractiveness for this economic sector, but entrepreneurs are faced with various phenomena that most often tend to decrease their performance.
