Year 2015, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 287 - 296, 01.04.2015

Abstract

Çevre bilinci kavramı, literatür içerisinde son zamanlarda daha fazla ele alınmaktadır. Çevre bilinçli tüketiciler, çevresel durumlara olan tutumlarına göre markaları, firmaları ve ürünleri değerlendirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, çevre bilinçli tüketicilerin, davranmayan firmalara yönelik tepkilerinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda nicel bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiş ve toplanmıştır. Çalışma bulgularında, tüketicilerin çevresel duyarlı ürünleri tercih ettikleri, firmaların çevre bilinçli olmadıkları zamanlarda onları çevrelerindekilere olumsuz kulaktan kulağa iletişim kullanarak cezalandırdıkları tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, firmaların çevre bilinçli oldukları durumlarda da tüketicilerin firmaları olumlu ödüllendirdikleri sonuçlarına göre kadın tüketiciler erkek tüketicilere kıyasla çevre bilinçli tüketime daha fazla önem vermektedir. Benzer biçimde, kadın tüketiciler erkeklere kıyasla firmaların çevre bilinçli olma durumlarına göre daha fazla ödüllendirme veya cezalandırma istekliliğinde bulunmaktadır

Environmentally Conscious Consumers’ Willingness to Punish and Reward Firms: The Differences between Genders

Year 2015, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 287 - 296, 01.04.2015

Abstract

The concept of environmental consciousness has been paid more attention in the literature recently. Environmentally conscious consumers ECC evaluate the brands, firms and products according to their attitudes to environmental issues. In this study, we attempt to reveal how environmentally conscious consumers’ responses differ in accordance with a firm’s environmental sensitivity. For this purpose, we have conducted a quantitative study and collected data from 405 undergraduate students. The results indicate that consumers prefer environmentally sensitive products. While punishing the firms that are not environmentally responsible through negative word- of- mouth, the consumers reward the environmentally responsible firms through positive word of mouth. According to our results, woman consumers give more importance to environmentally conscious consumption than men do. Similarly, woman consumers are more willing to punish or reward firms in accordance with the firms’ environmental sensitivity
