“…The individuals that hold a high level of materialistic attitude prefer the ownership of the products and thereby place the ownership of the products at the centre of their lives. Materialism is also found to be a major constraint in the sustainable development (Manchiraju & Krizan, 2015). Akbar et al (2016) found that materialism’s sub-dimension ‘possessiveness’ was the major barrier of sharing.…”

The purpose of this study is to test the mediating role of attitude on the motivations and constraints for collaborative consumption and to test the impact of perceived hygiene and cleanliness issues and anticipated financial guilt in the collaborative consumption by applying behavioural reasoning theory. A descriptive research design is adopted. Responses collected from 200 responses were subjected to statistical refinement and linear regression. The findings reveal that economic benefits and perceived sustainability demonstrated an insignificant impact on the attitude. However, the institution-based trust showed a positive impact on the attitude. The attitude is a strong mediating variable. Without the attitude, the consumers have no intention. Anticipated financial guilt and perceived hygiene and cleanliness issues have a negative impact on intention, when mediated by the attitude. The study implies that marketers need to build a strong attitude towards the collaborative consumption. Also, they need to target the middle- and higher-income groups with economic appeal. Practitioners must position their products as sustainable. They must build trust by addressing the concerns of the consumers. Practitioners need to increase awareness that they are doing the business taking the utmost care of hygiene.

Günümüzde bireylerin satın alma sürecini yöneten birçok faktör bulunmaktadır. Bu faktörlerden biri ise takıntılı olarak da nitelendirilen kompulsif satın almadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı kompulsif satın alma üzerinde etkili olan faktörleri belirlemektir. Kompulsif satın alma psikolojik rahatsızlık sayılabilecek düzeyde takıntılı satın alma davranışıdır. Tüketicileri kompulsif satın almaya yönelten birçok faktör bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada genel kişilik özelliklerinin, materyalizmin ve statü tüketiminin kompulsif satın alma üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışmada yer alan genel kişilik özellikleri bireylerin davranışlarının temelini oluşturan özelliklerdir. Statü tüketimi üzerinde etkili olduğu düşünülen materyalizm nesnelere sahip olmanın oldukça önemli bir unsur olarak görülmesidir. Statü tüketimi ise bireylerin statüleri gereği satın alma davranışlarında bulunmaları şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır. Çalışmada genel kişilik özelliklerinin, materyalizmin ve statü tüketiminin kompulsif satın alma üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Literatürden yararlanılarak hazırlanan anket formu aracılığıyla yüz yüze toplanan 446 ankete yapısal eşitlik modellemesi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda genel kişilik özelliklerinin, materyalizmin ve statü tüketiminin kompulsif satın alma üzerinde etkili olduğu anlaşılmıştır.

The Effect of Materialistic Value-Orientation on Religiosity in Bangladesh: An Empirical Investigation

The rising middle-class of the developing nations is found to be emphasizing more on the acquisition of goods and property in the pursuit of the good life. This often leads towards the materialistic value-orientation and form materialism. Religiosity, conversely, implies restraining from the earthy pleasure in the form of happy life, and often imposes prohibitory behavioral rules in the economic sphere. Hence, 'Materialism' and 'Religiosity' are two of the most incompatible yet dominant components of normative value-systems that are always in contention with each other. Literature is abundant to relate 'Emotional Connection', 'Subjective Well-Being', 'Happiness' or 'Life Satisfaction' with that of 'Materialism' and 'Religiosity'; nonetheless, what is hardly addressed is the effect of materialistic value-orientation to the religiosity in the transitional societies. This paper investigates materialism and religiosity in the developing economy context like Bangladesh and outlines the underlying relationships between the constructs. A survey on a sample of four hundred and twelve (412) respondents using self-administered questionnaires is the source of quantitative information that is used to formulate the tentative explanations of the variables of interest. Age is considered as a moderator. A negative relationship between the level of materialism and religiosity is found, if materialism is considered as a reflective construct, and religiosity is treated as a second-order formative construct in the structural equation modeling.
