Examination of the Relationship between Luxury Value Perception and Shopping Motivations: Turkey Sample

Abstract

It was aimed to reveal the effects of financial, functional, individual and social value perceptions on hedonic and utilitarian shopping motivations within this study. In this direction, a questionnaire was conducted to people over the age of 18 in cities representing 12 regions of Turkey and 2857 questionnaires were put into consideration in total. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) were applied to data. According to findings it was identified that the luxury value perception has influence over hedonic and utilitarian motivations. The individual value dimension of luxury perception has the highest effect on hedonic motivations and social, financial and functional value dimensions follow it respectively. And the relative effect of functional luxury value perception also has the highest effect on utilitarian motivations and the financial, individual and social values follow respectively. It was found that, while all these perception's effects have positive impacts, only the social value perception has a negative impact on utilitarian motivations.

Value-Based Segmentation of U.S. Luxury Consumers: Conceptual Replication and Model Validation

“…Consequently, Dubois and Duquesne (1993) noted that luxury brands employed simple branding strategies (such as Vogue advertisements) and established shops in prime locations, like Fifth Avenue in New York.
