The influence of aspects related to health and the environment on the intention of buying organic food / A influÃncia de aspectos relativos à saÃde e ao meio ambiente sobre a intenÃÃo de compra de alimentos orgÃnicos

Edmilson Pinto de Albuquerque JÃnior 22 August 2012 (has links)
FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / Food choices become more meaningful when it is taken into account that they are directly related to health. Likewise, these decisions already reflect aspects regarding environmental correction and it has been demonstrated a growing interest in the ecological responsibility behind consumed food. Organic food is considered healthy and environmentally friendly, then becoming relevant the investigation about these two constructs associated to the shopping intention of consumers. This study sought to investigate how the aspects related to the environmental awareness and the pursuing of health influence the shopping attitudes and intentions of organic food consumers in Cearà market. To this end, it was applied a survey research type and an integrated model was tested by means of the technique known as structural equation modeling (SEM) in order to observe the relations between the constructs concerning the environment, the health and the theory of planned behavior, which analyze the attitudes and intentions of consumers. The results indicate that there is a positive influence of the motivations related to health on the attitudes towards organics, the same occurring to these attitudes on the shopping intentions related to that type of food. Furthermore, it was observed that the aspects regarding environmental concerns do not influence the shopping intentions of organics in market under research. From a managerial point of view, the contributions from this study reside in the comprehension of the determining variables of the shopping behavior of an ascending market, what suggests basis to the development of strategies, by the agents of the productive chain, adequate to the analyzed market. / As escolhas alimentares tornam-se mais significativas quando se leva em conta que estÃo diretamente ligadas à saÃde. De maneira similar, essas decisÃes jà refletem tambÃm aspectos de correÃÃo ambiental e tem-se demonstrado um crescente interesse na responsabilidade ecolÃgica por trÃs dos alimentos consumidos. Os alimentos orgÃnicos sÃo propagados como alimentos saudÃveis e ecologicamente corretos, e tornou-se relevante investigar esses dois construtos associados Ãs intenÃÃes de compra de consumidores. Este estudo buscou investigar de que maneira os aspectos relativos à consciÃncia ambiental e à busca por saÃde influenciam as atitudes e intenÃÃes de compra do consumidor de alimentos orgÃnicos no mercado cearense. Para tal fim, empreendeu-se uma pesquisa do tipo survey e testou-se por intermÃdio da tÃcnica de modelagem de equaÃÃes estruturais (MEE) um modelo integrado no intuito de verificar as relaÃÃes entre os construtos relativos ao meio ambiente, à saÃde e à teoria do comportamento planejado, que analisa as atitudes e intenÃÃes dos consumidores. Os resultados indicam haver uma influÃncia positiva das motivaÃÃes ligadas à saÃde sobre as atitudes em relaÃÃo aos orgÃnicos, e destas nas intenÃÃes de compra desses alimentos. Verificou-se ainda que os aspectos ligados à preocupaÃÃo ambiental nÃo influenciam as intenÃÃes de compra de orgÃnicos no mercado pesquisado. Do ponto de vista gerencial, as contribuiÃÃes deste estudo residem na compreensÃo das variÃveis determinantes do comportamento de compra de um mercado em ascensÃo, o que sugere bases para o desenvolvimento de estratÃgias, por parte dos agentes da cadeia produtiva, adequadas ao mercado analisado.
