Journal Article
Young female consumers' intentions toward fair trade consumption
2012
Overview
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine young female consumers' purchase behaviours related to non-food fair trade products. Interrelationships among beliefs, attitudes, perceived behavioural control, and purchase intentions in regard to fair trade products were examined within a framework of the theory of planned behaviour to arrive at an in-depth understanding of young female consumers' fair trade consumption.Design methodology approach - Using a probability sampling approach, 810 complete responses were collected via web-based surveys from 18-28 year old female college students at a large Midwestern university. Path model analysis was employed to test the proposed model and research hypotheses.Findings - The results revealed that young female consumers' beliefs about the fair trade concept and product attributes, attitudes toward fair trade purchases, and perceived behavioural control in regard to fair trade purchases, were all important factors in determining consumers' intentions to purchase a fair trade product.Research limitations implications - Several important strategic implications emerged in this study for fair trade retailers targeting young female consumers. The generalization of the findings to the US population may be limited because the data were collected from a small to medium-sized community with a fair trade specialty store.Originality value - This study focused on providing insights for a previously unaddressed fair trade consumer segment - a younger female consumer group between ages 18 and 28. The results of this study may provide insight to artisan producers and retailers in expanded opportunities to distribute, market, and promote fair trade products to this consumer segment.
