Abstract

Corporate reputation perception is an effective variable in shaping customer behaviors. A positive perception of reputation leads to positive outcomes such as loyalty, positive word-of-mouth marketing, low perceived risk, and commitment. In the marketing literature, it has been observed that the factors affecting the perception of corporate reputation have not been sufficiently analyzed and certain factors such as satisfaction, trust, corporate social responsibility, and financial strength have been focused on. In this study, unlike the factors in the literature, the effect of customer empowerment on the perception of corporate reputation is examined. Customer empowerment is considered an important tool in the competitive race in marketing. Within the scope of this research, data were collected from 343 consumers by questionnaire technique. Consumers were asked to indicate their degree of agreement with the statements in the questionnaire by thinking about the clothing store they visit most frequently. SPSS 18 and AMOS 18 package programs were used in the analysis of the data obtained. In the reliability analyses, customer empowerment and corporate reputation scales were found to be reliable. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis of the scales, it was seen that the fit index values of the scales met the reference values. It was determined that the AVE values of the scales also met the reference values. Normality test was also performed for the data in the study. Since the skewness and kurtosis values of the variables were within the reference values, it was observed that the data met the normality assumption. Then, the relationship between variables was analyzed. Partial correlation analysis was preferred for the determination of this relationship. In this direction, correlation analysis was carried out by controlling gender, age, education, and income status variables. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was observed that there is a positive relationship between customer empowerment and corporate reputation. After the determination of the relationship between the variables, path analysis was performed with the AMOS program to test the research hypothesis. In the analysis, it was seen that the fit indices of the research model provided the reference values. In addition, it was determined that customer empowerment positively and significantly effects the perception of corporate reputation.

Abstract

Kurumsal itibar algısı müşteri davranışlarının şekillenmesinde etkili bir değişkendir. İtibar algısının olumlu olması sadakat, olumlu ağızdan ağıza pazarlama, düşük algılanan risk, bağlılık gibi olumlu çıktılar elde edilmesini sağlamaktadır. Pazarlama literatürde kurumsal itibar algısını etkileyen faktörlerin yeterince incelenmediği ve memnuniyet, güven, finansal güç, kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk gibi belli başlı faktörlere yoğunlaşıldığı görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada literatürdeki faktörlerden farklı olarak müşteri güçlendirmesinin kurumsal itibar algısı üzerindeki etkisine bakılmıştır. Müşteri güçlendirmesi pazarlamada rekabet yarışında önemli bir araç olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu araştırma kapsamında 343 tüketiciden anket tekniğiyle veriler toplanmıştır. Tüketicilerden en sık gittikleri giyim mağazasını düşünerek ankette yer alan ifadelere katılma derecelerini belirtmeleri istenmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin analizi için SPSS 18 ve AMOS 18 paket programları kullanılmıştır. Yapılan güvenilirlik analizinde müşteri güçlendirmesi ve kurumsal itibar ölçeklerinin güvenilir oldukları belirlenmiştir. Ölçeklere yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda ölçeklere ait uyum iyiliği değerlerinin referans değerlerini karşıladığı görülmüştür. Ölçeklerin AVE değerlerinin de referans değerleri sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada veriler için normallik testi de yapılmıştır. Değişkenlerin çarpıklık ve basıklık değerleri referans alınan değerler arasında yer aldığı için verilerin normallik varsayımını karşıladığı gözlenmiştir. Daha sonra, değişkenler arası ilişkiye bakılmıştır. Değişkenler arası ilişkiler için Kısmi Korelasyon analizi tercih edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim ve gelir durumu değişkenleri kontrol altına alınarak korelasyon analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Korelasyon analizi sonucunda müşteri güçlendirmesi ve kurumsal itibar arasında olumlu yönde bir ilişkinin olduğu görülmüştür. Değişkenler arası ilişkinin tespitinden sonra araştırma hipotezinin testi için AMOS programıyla yol analizi yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizde araştırma modelinin uyum indekslerinin referanslar değerleri sağladığı görülmüştür. Bunun yanında müşteri güçlendirmesinin kurumsal itibar algısını pozitif yönde ve anlamlı düzeyde etkilediği saptanmıştır.
