Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı; tüketiciyi çevreye duyarlı bir ürün satın almaya iten faktörleri ortaya koymaktır. Bu bağlamda, bağımsız değişkenler dindarlık, çevresel değer, bireysel-kolektivist değer ve çevresel duyarlılık olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın hipotezleri, biri Türkiye'de yaşayan Türk tüketiciler, diğeri ise Türkiye dışında yaşayan yabancı tüketiciler olmak üzere iki ayrı örnek kütle üzerinde test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, bireysel-kolektivist değer ve çevresel duyarlılık değişkenleri her iki örnek kütle için de, davranışsal niyetleri etkilemektedir. Çevresel değerlerin yurt içi örnek kütle için davranışsal niyetler üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmaktadır. Yurt dışı örnek kütle için ise, anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmamaktadır. Dindarlık yurt dışında yaşayan yabancıların oluşturduğu örnek kütle için, davranışsal niyetleri etkileyen bir değişken iken diğer örnek kütle içinde ise, davranışsal niyetler üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmamaktadır
