유기농식품에 대한 소비자의 구매의도 영향요인 분석 계획적 행동이론을 중심으로 = A Study of the Factors Influencing Behavioral Intention for Organic Food: Using the Theory of Planned Behavior

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Well-being is a reflection of current sociocultural trends that focus on the quality of life based on economic growth. Furthermore, organic food is believed to help people maintain good health and therefore leads to increased consumption of organic foods. Therefore, consumer interest in organic food is increasing, causing its market to grow, and this trend will be maintained in the future.
The abuse of agricultural pesticides, gene manipulation, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy has caused consumers to worry about food safety. The well-being trend has also contributed to consumers’ growing interest inorganic food and organic agricultural products.
A consumer’s choice offood is a complex processes affected by various factors. In particular, organic food is considered an individualistic merit good, considering the consumers’ preferences related to certification policies. Therefore, various factors such as personal characteristics and sense of value could affect consumers’ decisions.
This research focused on an analysis of the factors influencing consumers’ purchasing intention for organic food on the basis of an increase in organic food consumption. The research method was based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Factors such as consumer characteristics regarding food consumption, purchasing frequency, and other factors affecting purchasing intention were presented. The hypothesis was set using advanced research and stated that it is easier to forecast purchasing intentions by combining the theory of planned behavior and personal characteristics of consumer.
The results show that two dimensions, attitude and perceived behavioral control, have statistically significant influence on the purchasing intention. It can be said that a positive attitude toward organic foods in particular increases the possibility of purchasing intention.
In addition, consumers who consume more organic food products are more likely to have positive attitudes, and, in the past, purchasing frequency has positively influenced purchasing intention of organic foods. Consumers’negative feelings about the non-purchase of organic foods also showed a negative influence on purchasing intentions.
In other words, even though consumers feel uncomfortable when not consuming organic food products, they do not try to purchase such products because of this feeling of discomfort. Furthermore, the subjective norm and the behavioral control of food-related involvement do not have a statistically significant influence on the purchasing intention or attitudes. This research verified the influence of factors related to purchasing intention.
This study has several limitations: (1) even though consumers’ responses can change based on the type of food, the types of food were not classified in this study; (2) future studies are necessary to analyze the attitudes of consumers on the basis of their purchasing experiences with organic foods.
