ALGILANAN DEĞERİN MARKA KİŞİLİĞİ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

Turizm sektöründe yer alan işletmelerin müşterilerin ihtiyaç, istek ve beklentilerine yanıt verebilmeleri ancak başarılı bir şekilde kuracakları ve sürdürecekleri iletişimle mümkün olacaktır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada seyahat acentesinin algılanan değeri ile marka kişiliği arasındaki ilişkiyi ölçmek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan verilerin elde edilmesinde anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Yapılan açıklayıcı faktör analizi ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda marka kişiliğine ilişkin uyumluluk/yalınlık, güvenilirlik, hareketlilik, duygusallık ve saldırganlık boyutları ve algılanan değere ilişkin duygusal değer, fonksiyonel değer Profesyonellik-Kalite-Fiyat/Seyahat acentesinin kurulumu ve sosyal değer boyutları ortaya çıkmıştır. Yapılan çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizinde elde edilen sonuçlar algılanan değerin yalnızca seyahat acentesinin kurulumu boyutunun marka kişiliğinin hiçbir boyutu üzerinde etkiye sahip olmadığını göstermiştir.
