Abstract

This study was designed to determine the effects of meat country-of-origin on the perceived quality, perceived risk, perceived value, and purchase intension of restaurant menu items. A total of 237 university students in Seoul were used in the final statistical analyses, which included factor analysis, ANOVA and Duncan's test. The results were as follows: First, in the case of perceived quality, the participants gave higher evaluations of restaurant menu items better when the origin of the foodstuff was Korea. Second, the effects of origin on perceived value were not statistically significant. Third, the effect of origin on the purchase intension of fried chicken was statistically significant, but the effects of origin on the purchase intension of boned rib and fillet were not statistically significant. Lastly, the limitations of this study and suggestions for further research are presented.
