Sosyal Sorumluluk Projelerine Yönelik Tutumun, Satın Alma Davranışı ve Satın Alma Niyeti Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

Tüketici istek ve ihtiyaçlarının hızla değişmesi ve küreselleşme ile beraber işletmeler arasındaki rekabet büyük önem kazanmıştır. Günümüzde işletmeler, rekabet edebilmek için sosyal olarak sorumlu birer işletme olduklarını vurgulamaktadırlar. Bu kapsamda işletmenin sosyal sorumluluğu, sosyal meselelere verdiği önem ve bunların çözümü için verdiği destek gibi konular, birer rekabet aracı olarak kullanılmaktadır. Nitekim söz konusu kavramların önemini anlayan bir tüketici, satın alma davranışlarını sosyal açıdan da değerlendirebilecektir. Bu çalışmada tüketicilerin sosyal pazarlama projelerine yönelik tutumlarının, sosyal sorumluluk taşıyan –toplum, çevre ve istihdam konuları ile ilgili- satın alma davranışı ve satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisi test edilmektedir. Çalışmada tutumun, sosyal sorumluluk taşıyan satın alma davranışına yansıması ile ilgili yapısal bir model sunulmaktadır. Araştırma hipotezlerinin testi için nedensellik analizi olarak adlandırılan ve çok değişkenli bir analiz metodu olan Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucu sosyal pazarlama projelerine yönelik tüketici tutumunun, sosyal sorumluluk taşıyan satın alma davranışı ve genel olarak satın alma niyeti üzerinde önemli derecede etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Tüketicilerin sosyal pazarlama projelerine yönelik olumlu tutumları, özellikle toplumsal konular ile ilgili satın alımlara öncülük etmektedir.
