Özet

Bu çalışmada, hizmet satın alma sürecinde bilgi kaynağı olarak kulaktan kulağa iletişimin satın alma davranışına olan etkileri ve tüketicilerin satın aldığı hizmeti değerlendirmeleri aşamasında oluşan tatmin düzeyine bağlı olarak, müşterilerin negatif ya da pozitif kulaktan kulağa iletişim oluşturma eğilimlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, anket yöntemi ile veriler elde edilmiştir. Veri analizi sonucunda, bilgi kaynağı olan kulaktan kulağa iletişimin (girdi) deneklerin satın alma davranışları üzerinde etkisinin olduğu, satın aldıkları hizmetten tatmin olmayan deneklerin negatif ve tatmin olan deneklerin pozitif kulaktan kulağa iletişim oluşturdukları bulunmuştur. Buna ek olarak, kulaktan kulağa iletişimin yoğunluğuna göre şekil değiştirdiği gözlemlenmiştir.
