Determination of Factors Affecting the Preferences of Youth for Purchasing New Products: Application of Confirmatory Factor Analysis

Öz

Bu çalışma gençlerin yeni ürün satın alma tercihini belirleyen değişkenlerin neler olduğunu belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma kolayda örneklem yöntemi ile Türkiye’nin Bingöl ilinde 393 genç ile yapılmıştır. Aştırmada önce açımlayıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (CFA) uygulanarak ölçeğin geçerliliği denenmiştir. CFA sonucu model iyi uyum değerleri göstermiştir. Modifikasyon işlemi uygulanarak faktörler arasındaki ilişkiyi gösteren en uygun CFA yöntemi belirlenmiştir. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda; ürünün kalite ve konforü, duygusal faktör, ürün şekil faktörü, pazarlama iletişim faktörü ve sadakat faktörü şeklinde beş faktör belirlenmiştir. Ankete katılanları alışverişe etkileyen en büyük etkenin "ihtiyaç" olduğu gözlenmiştir. Kalite ve fiyatın satın alma davranışı üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğu söylenebilir. Ayrıca katılımcıların önemli bir bölümünün lagarlardan oluştuğu söylenebilir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

DETERMINATION OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE PREFERENCES OF YOUTH FOR PURCHASING NEW PRODUCTS: APPLICATION OF CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to identify the variables that determine the preferences of youth for buying new products. The research was conducted with a sample of 393 youth in the Bingol province of Turkey by using the convenience sampling method. Prior to the research, the exploratory factor analysis was conducted. The validity of the scale was tested, by applying the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). As the result of the model showed good fit values. The most appropriate CFA method showing the relationship between the factors was determined by applying the modification process. As a result of exploratory factor analysis; five factors were determined as “product quality and comfort”, “emotional factor”, “product form factor”, “marketing communication factor” and “loyalty factor”. It was observed that the biggest factor affecting the participants of the survey for shopping is "need". It can be stated that quality and price have a significant effect on purchasing behavior. In addition, it can be stated that an important part of the participants consists of laggards.
