Sosyal Medyada Sürdürülebilir Tüketim: Sürdürülebilir Giysiye Yönelik Tutumu Etkileyen Faktörler ve Sonuçları

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, tüketicilerin sürdürülebilir giysiye yönelik tutumlarını etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek ve sürdürülebilir giyim bağlamında hangi faktörlerin tüketicilerin satın alma niyetlerini etkilediğini anlamaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda fayda sunma, bilgilendirme, deneyimsel öğrenme, sosyal medya kullanımı ve algısı, sürdürebilir giysiye yönelik tutum, paylaşım niyeti ve sürdürebilir giysi satın alma niyeti arasındaki ilişki yapısal eşitlik modeli SEM ile incelenmiştir. Araştırmada sosyal medyada zaman geçiren üniversite öğrencileri ile yapılan yüz yüze anket çalışması sonucu 502 kullanılabilir anket elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, fayda sunma ve sosyal medya kullanım algısının sürdürebilir giysiye yönelik tutum üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif bir etkisi olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Ayrıca, sosyal medya kullanımının paylaşım niyeti üzerinde pozitif bir etkisi olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Son olarak ise, tüketicilerin sürdürebilir giysiye yönelik tutumlarının hem paylaşım niyetini hem de sürdürebilir giysi satın alma niyetini anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir

In this research, the relationship between information value, informativeness, experiential learning, social media use and perception, attitude towards environmentally sustainable apparel, consumer resonance, and environmentally sustainable apparel purchase intention were examined through the structural equation model SEM . For this purpose, 502 usable questionnaires were obtained from face to face surveys of university students who use social media. According to the findings of the study, information value and social media use and perception are the factors that affect attitude towards environmentally sustainable apparel. Also, social media use and perception have a positive impact on consumer resonance.
