Çevrimiçi İkinci El Alışveriş Motivasyonları: Ölçek Uyarlama Çalışması

Abstract

Çalışma internet üzerinden ikinci el alışverişi ele almakta, tüketicileri buna yönlendiren temel motivasyonları ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Tüketicilerin niçin internet üzerinden ikinci el alım satımı tercih ettiği ile ilgili çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Buna ışık tutmak adına, çalışma Padmavathy ve diğerlerinin (2019) oluşturduğu ölçeğin Türkçe’ye uyarlanarak geçerlilik ve güvenilirliğinin incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma örneklemi internetten ikinci el alışveriş yapmış bireylerden oluşmuştur. Çevrimiçi anket tekniği uygulanarak, geçerli olan 354 veri analize dahil edilmiştir. SPSS AMOS 23.0 yazılımı aracılığıyla doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yürütülmüştür. Ölçüm modelleri genel olarak yeterli uyum göstermiş, yüzeysel geçerlilik, yakınsama geçerliliği, ayrışma geçerliliği ve yapı güvenilirliği sağlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda tüketiciyi internetten ikinci el alışverişe yönlendiren motivasyonlar fiyat odaklılık, pazarlık gücü, muhalif odaklılık, kullanım kolaylığı, özgün olma, nostalji, teminat ve güven olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Araştırma bulguları dikkate alınarak teorik ve pratik alanda çıkarımlarda bulunulmuş, gelecekteki çalışmalar için öneriler getirilmiştir.
