In the theoretical model developed within the scope of the research; sustainability, price perception, uniqueness and nostalgia were considered as motivational factors; hygiene concern, embarrassment and performance risk were considered as inhibitory factors. Within the scope of the research, 340 data were collected from Generation Z individuals living in Turkey via an online survey and the obtained data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings show that while the motivational factors sustainability, price advantage and nostalgia variables have positive and significant effects on purchase intention, the inhibitory factor embarrassment variable can weaken this relationship. In addition, the analysis results show that gender differences become evident in some variables. In particular, the effects of sustainability, price perception and embarrassment variables on purchase intention were statistically significant and higher in female participants. In males, the nostalgia variable stood out as a stronger motivational element.}, number={3}, publisher={Pazarlama ve Pazarlama Araştırmaları Derneği}
