Bu çalışmanın amacı tüketicilerin
zaman oryantasyonu (geçmiş, şimdiki, gelecek) ile tüketici yenililikçiliği
arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Zaman oryantasyonu, geçmiş, bugün ve geleceğe
yönelik genel bir yönelimdir. Tüketici yenilikçiliği, değişime yönelik eğilimi
yansıtan kişisel bir profildir. Türkiye (n=229) ve İran (n=312) ‘dan toplamda
541 katılımcı çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına
göre, tüketicilerin geçmiş ve gelecek oryantasyonu ile tüketici yenilikçiliği
arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, iki ülke arasında
geçmiş oryantasyon, şimdiki oryantasyon ve tüketici yenilikçiliği değişkenleri
açısından aralarında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla
birlikte, İranlı katılımcıların gelecek oryantasyonları Türk katılımcılarından
yüksek iken; Türk katılımcıların geçmiş oryantasyon, şimdiki oryantasyon ve
tüketici yenilikçiliği değişkenleri bakımından algı düzeyleri daha yüksek
çıkmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarının, pazarlama yöneticilerinin tüketici
davranışlarını anlamalarına katkıda bulunması beklenmektedir.
