Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, termal turizm işletmelerinde hedonik ve faydacı tüketim eğiliminin davranışsal niyetler üzerindeki etkisini tespit etmektir. Çalışmanın amacına ulaşmak için hedonik ve faydacı tüketim ile davranışsal niyetler (başkasına önerme ve yeniden ziyaret etme) değişkenleri kullanılarak bir model oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma Balıkesir ilinde faaliyet gösteren termal turizm işletmelerinde yapılmıştır. Bu işletmelerden hizmet alan ve kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 550 kişi ile yüz yüze görüşülerek veriler elde edilmiştir. Modele ilişkin hipotezleri test etmek için regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan istatistiksel analizler sonucunda, hedonik tüketim ile faydacı tüketim değişkenlerinin bazı boyutlarının davranışsal niyetler üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif bir etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bazı boyutların ise davranışsal niyetler üzerinde herhangi bir anlamlı ve pozitif etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür.
