Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the impact of Turkish consumers' ethnocentric tendencies on their intention to purchase Turkish hazelnut chocolate brands.
Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of all Turkish adults (aged 18-65) consuming chocolate with hazelnuts. The sample consisted of 943 participants recruited using convenience sampling. Reliability, validity, and factor analysis were conducted on scales before data analysis. Then, the direction and magnitude of the relationships between variables were determined using pearson correlation analysis. Finally, regression analyses were conducted to examine the causality of the relationships between the variables.
Results: The results showed that most participants developed brand loyalty towards hazelnut chocolate products and paid attention to the country of origin of the products. the correlation analysis indicated a strong positive relationship between consumer ethnocentrism and intention to purchase domestic products. The regression analysis yielded that consumer ethnocentrism positively affected the intention to purchase domestic products.
Conclusion: If companies obtain information on consumers' hazelnut chocolate consumption preferences and their perspectives on domestic products before making strategic decisions, they can gain a competitive advantage in the hazelnut chocolate market and develop marketing strategies accordingly.
