AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON ANTECEDENTS OF CONSUMPTION VALUES: THE MODERATING EFFECT OF SOCIAL CLASS

Öz:
Recently, cultural transformation has resulted in changing the consumption values. Lack of the deeper explanations regarding the antecedents of consumption values is the motivation of this study. The study aims to explain the effects of global consumer culture, individualism, collectivism and materialism as antecedents, on consumption values of consumer. A partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group analysis were applied to test the hypotheses suggested in the structural model. The results indicate that materialism partially mediates the relationship between global consumer culture and consumption values besides the relationship between collectivism and consumption values. Materialism full mediates the relationship between individualism and consumption values. The results reveal that there aren’t differences the direction and power of the structural model paths between middle-class group and other-class group except for indirect effects.

TÜKETİM DEĞERLERİNİN ÖNCÜLLERİ ÜZERİNE GÖRGÜL BİR ÇALIŞMA: SOSYAL SINIFIN DÜZENLEYİCİ ETKİSİ

Öz:
Son yıllardaki kültürel dönüşüm, tüketim değerlerinin değişmesine neden olmaktadır. Tüketim değerlerinin öncüllerine ilişkin derinlemesine açıklamaların eksikliği, bu çalışmanın itici gücü olmuştur. Çalışma, öncüller olarak küresel tüketici kültürü, bireycilik, toplulukçuluk ve materyalizm eğiliminin tüketim değerleri üzerindeki etkilerini açıklamayı hedeflemektedir. Yapısal modelde önerilen hipotezlerin test edilmesi için kısmi en küçük kareler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi (PLS-SEM) ve çoklu grup analizi uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar, materyalizmin küresel tüketici kültürü ile tüketim değerleri arasında ve toplulukçu kültür ile tüketim değerleri arasında kısmen aracılık ettiğini göstermektedir. Materyalisttik eğilim bireyci kültür ile tüketim değerleri arasında tam aracılık etmektedir. Sonuçlar, orta sınıf ile diğer sınıflar arasında modelin dolaylı etkileri hariç dolaysız etkilerinin gücü ve yönü açısından bir farklılık olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır.
