Previous issue date: 2012-08-31 / The point of sale atmosphere is composed of environmental, social and design factors, and its relevance to the retail is recognized through academic research carried out in the field and through investments made by retailers to build more favorable environments to achieve their objectives. However, theoretical review has presented an opportunity to carry out further investigation on consumer-employee interaction, in which was found that only a handful of studies truly examine the relationship between the quality of consumer-employee interaction and the purchase intention and store recommendation intention variables, which justify the interest for this theme. Given the above, this study aims at analyzing the influence of consumer employee interaction quality in store recommendation and purchase intentions from a clothing store for middle class consumers. The economic importance of retail clothing within the retail industry, the pre-disposition for interaction among the social factors in this segment and the fact that more than half Brazil s population is part of the middle class, based on CPS/FGV (NERI, 2012) have contributed to the selection of this sector and this social class as the focuses of this study. In order to meet the objectives of this dissertation, two research studies were carried out sequentially. The research started with a qualitative exploratory phase conducted through interviews and a focus group, followed by a quantitative step implemented through a conclusive causal research through an experimental study. The combination of these methods has addressed the investigation of these study objectives, and the outcomes from the studies have shown that there is a high correlation between the quality of consumer-employee interaction and store and recommendation and purchase intentions of the clothing store in the studied segment. How much more positive interaction between the middle class consumer and employees of the retail clothing industry, the greater the purchase intention and recommendation of the consumer, while the reverse is also true, how much more negative the interaction between the consumer and the retail clothing employee, the lower the purchase intention and recommendation of the middle class consumer. / A atmosfera do ponto de venda ? composta por fatores ambientais, de design e sociais e sua relev?ncia para o varejo ? reconhecida atrav?s das pesquisas acad?micas realizadas na ?rea e por meio dos investimentos feitos pelos varejistas para construir ambientes mais prop?cios ? consecu??o dos seus objetivos. No entanto, identificou-se a oportunidade de realizar uma investiga??o mais detalhada sobre a intera??o consumidor-funcion?rio a partir da revis?o te?rica realizada, na qual se verificou que poucos estudos examinam a rela??o entre a qualidade da intera??o consumidor-funcion?rio e as vari?veis inten??o de compra e recomenda??o de loja, justificando o interesse pelo tema. Diante do exposto, o objetivo deste estudo ? analisar a influ?ncia da qualidade da intera??o consumidor-funcion?rio na inten??o de compra e na inten??o de recomenda??o de loja de confec??o para consumidores de classe m?dia. A import?ncia econ?mica do varejo de confec??o dentro do setor varejista, a pr?disposi??o para a intera??o entre os fatores sociais nesse segmento e o fato de mais da metade da popula??o do Brasil fazer parte da classe m?dia, segundo pesquisa do Centro de Pol?ticas Sociais da FGV (NERI, 2012), contribu?ram para a escolha desse setor e dessa classe social como focos do estudo. Para responder aos objetivos desta disserta??o foram realizados dois tipos de pesquisa de forma sequencial. Iniciou-se por uma fase explorat?ria qualitativa, realizada atrav?s de entrevistas e grupo focal, sucedida por uma etapa quantitativa, implementada por meio de uma pesquisa conclusiva causal, atrav?s de um estudo experimental. A combina??o desses m?todos atendeu a investiga??o dos objetivos e os resultados desses estudos mostraram que h? alta correla??o entre a qualidade da intera??o consumidor-funcion?rio e a inten??o de compra e recomenda??o de loja no segmento estudado. Quanto mais positiva a intera??o entre o consumidor de classe m?dia e o funcion?rio do varejo de confec??o, maior a inten??o de compra e recomenda??o do consumidor, sendo que o inverso tamb?m ? verdadeiro, quanto mais negativa a intera??o entre o consumidor e o funcion?rio do varejo de confec??o, menor a inten??o de compra e recomenda??o do consumidor de classe m?dia.
