EFFECT OF THE STORE ATMOSPHERE ON COMPULSIVE BUYING BEHAVIOR

Kompulsif satın alma davranışı tüketicileri ihtiyaçları olandan daha fazlasını satın almaya sevk eden kontrol dışı bir davranış türüdür. Depresyon, inkar, düşük benlik saygısı, üzüntü gibi olumsuz duygular kompulsif satın alma davranışının altında yatan nedenler olarak ifade edilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, mağaza atmosferinin kompulsif satın alma davranışı üzerindeki tetikleyici etkisini irdelemektir. Araştırmanın amacına ulaşabilmesi için nitel ve nicel yöntem bir arada kullanılmıştır. Nihayetinde mağaza atmosferinin kompulsif satın alma davranışı üzerindeki etkisinin üç boyutlu bir yapıdan oluştuğu; bu yapıların fiziksel çevre, promosyon etkisi ve gösterişçi tüketim olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapısal eşitlik modellemesi uygulanarak yapılan istatistiksel analizler neticesinde araştırma modelinin yapı geçerliliğine sahip olduğu, soru setinin kavrama dair toplam varyansın yaklaşık %74'ünü açıklayabilidiği ve .929 güvenilirlik katsayısına sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
