Müşteri Mağaza Seçim Kriterlerinin Müşteri Tatmini Üzerindeki Etkileri

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı mağaza seçim kriterlerinin müşteri tatmini üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktır. Literatürde bugüne kadar bu konuda pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır. Perakende işletmeciliğinin dinamik ve değişken doğası mağaza seçimi ve mağaza müşterisi olma kriterlerinin de değişmesine neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu konuda yapılan çalışmalar günümüzde de devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada ürün çeşitliliği, erişim, tatmin, hizmet kalitesi, güven, dizayn kriterleri hem literatür hem de yapılan pilot çalışma sonucunda mağaza seçim kriterleri olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma için verilerin ana kütlesi Bartın ili nüfusu olarak ele alınmıştır. Örneklimin ana kütleyi en iyi biçimde temsil edebilmesi için 550 anket Bartın ilinde yüz yüze olarak uygulanmıştır. Toplam olarak analize uygun olarak 533 anketin geri dönüşü sağlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda bu kriterlerin müşteri tatmini üzerinde olumlu etkilere sahip olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
