Abstract

A study was conducted on dietitians in the Gyeonggido area to analyze the effect of purchase decision and attitude related factors regarding environmental-friendly agricultural products. The results of the factor analysis, correlation analysis and a multiple regression analysis are as follows. Many dieticians prefer environmental-friendly agricultural products, but they are reluctant to pay more money to purchase them. It was found that purchasing decision factors were 'loyalty' at 0.920, 'perceived quality' at 0.791, 'awareness' at 0.862, and 'brand' at 0.801. To conclude, the research result shows a statistically very close and positive correlation between the dieticians' attitude on environmental-friendly agricultural products and purchase decision. Other factors of quality(r=.296, p<.01), brand(r=.350, p<.01), loyalty(r=.558, p<.01), and awareness (r=.496, p<.01) acted as the most meaningful and significant variables. In short, of the dieticians surveyed in Gyeonggido province, the more favorably disposed to organic products, the more likely they are to purchase them. Accordingly, it is necessary for dieticians to be educated so that they may have greater awareness of environmental-friendly agricultural products. Furthermore, there is a need for more follow-up studies in order to gain an understanding of how to improve dieticians' attitudes on using organic products.

경기도지역 학교급식 영양사를 대상으로 친환경 농산물에 대한 태도와 구매 결정요인에 어떠한 영향이 있는지를 조사하기 위해 친환경 농산물태도와 친환경농산물 구매의사 결정요인에 관한 변수간의 요인분석과 Correlation(상관관계분석), 다중회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 영양사들은 친환경농산물의 중요성에 관한 태도를 가지고 있으나 구입 가격에 관해서는 소극적인 태도를 나타내는 것으로 사료된다. 구매결정요인은 '충성도' 0.920, '지각된 품질' 0.791, '인지' 0.862, '브랜드' 0.801로 조사되었다. 일반사항에 따른 결과에서 영양사들은 친환경 농산물 구매결정요인 중 충성도가 가장 높았으며, 품질, 브랜드, 인지 순으로 나타났다. 친환경 농산물에 관한 태도는 친환경 농산물에 관한 구매의사 결정요인 중 품질(r=.296, p<.01) 및 브랜드(r=.350, p<.01), 충성도(r=.558, p<.01), 인지(r=.496, p<.01)와 유의미한 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 이상의 연구 결과들로 경기도지역 영양사의 친환경 농산물에 대한 태도가 높을수록 친환경 농산물에 관한 친환경농산물 구매의사 결정이 긍정적인 것으로 나타났으며, 친환경 농산물 구매의사 결정 요인 중 충성도와 인지가 친환경농산물 태도에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 학교급식 관리자인 영양사의 친환경농산물에 대한 태도를 향상시키기 위한 방안제시가 필요하며, 친환경농산물 구매의사 결정요인들에 대한 후속 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.
