This comes from profiles of different leader types and is seen many times in the text, e.g. "... le leader doit prendre conscience du contrôle que peut exercer son entité conceptuelle de soi sur ses pensées et son comportement."
I am currently translating as "sense of self," but would like your opinion!

Question: What Is Self-Concept?
Answer: Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves.
Humanist psychologist Carl Rogers believed that there were three different parts of self-concept:
Self-image, or how you see yourself.
Self-esteem, or how much you value yourself.
Ideal self, or how you wish you could be

Note from asker:
| Thank you so much, Heidi! I hadn't found this website. I am keeping it as a fairly literal translation : self-concept entity (keeping entity because the text refers back to "entité") |

It seems to be a term used by psychologists rather than lay people, so it would depend on the register of your source text, whether or not it is suitable here. If it's intended for a less technical readership, perhaps "self-image" would work.
