Abstract

Dünya genelinde özellikle Covid-19 pandemisiyle birlikte dijital medyanın ve dijital
platformların kullanımı çok hızlı bir şekilde artış göstermiştir. Bu platformların kullanıcısı olarak
tüketicilerin beklentileri ve kendilerine sunulacak içeriğin yenilikçi olması platformların tercih
edilebilirliklerini artırmaktadır. Bu dijital platformlardan en çok kullanıcıya sahip platformlardan biri
Netflix’dir. Dolayısıyla Netflix kullanıcılarının yenilikçi davranışlarının incelenmesi ve bu platformu
satın alma davranışı üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılması önemlidir. Bu çerçevede ele alınan araştırmanın
amacı, güdülenmiş tüketici yenilikçiliğinin bu dijital platformun algılanan tüketici temelli marka
değeri ve platforma yönelik tutum üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Ayrıca algılanan tüketici temelli
marka değeri ve tutumun bu platformu satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisi de araştırılmıştır. Bu
kapsamda araştırmanın örneklemini Netflix kullanan tüketiciler oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama tekniği
olarak yapılandırılmış anketle 320 birimden çevrimiçi olarak veriler elde edilmiştir. Araştırmaya
katılan dijital platform kullanıcılarına kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen
verilerin analizinde ve hipotezlerin test edilmesinde yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılmıştır. Analizler
sonucunda, güdülenmiş tüketici yenilikçiliğinin sosyal güdülenmiş ve hedonik güdülenmiş
boyutlarının hem algılanan tüketici temelli marka değeri hem de dijital platforma yönelik tutumu
etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Fonksiyonel güdülenmiş ve bilişsel güdülenmiş yenilikçilik boyutlarının ise
bu değişkenler üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkisinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Tüketicilerin
kullandığı dijital platforma ilişkin algıladıkları değer ve tutumlarının ise dijital platform satın alma
niyetini etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
