Özet

Bu çalışmada, tüketicilerin lüks değere yönelik algıları cinsiyet unsuru açısından belirlenmeye çalışılarak, cinsiyetin bu algılara etkisinin olup olmadığı ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, özellikle lüks tüketim açısından Türk tüketicisini genel olarak temsil eden İstanbul ili ana kütle olarak belirlenmiş ve cinsiyet kotası kullanılarak 18 yaş ve üzeri 1100 kişi örneklem olarak seçilmiştir.  Söz konusu örneklemden veriler,  anket yöntemiyle elde edilmiş ve verilere keşfedici (exploratory) faktör analizi uygulanmıştır.  Yazında lüks algısının oluşmasında finansal, fonksiyonel, kişisel ve sosyal olmak üzere dört temel değer boyutu tespit edilmiştir.  Bu çalışmanın bulguları da yazındaki bulgulara benzerlik göstermekle birlikte, boyutların görece önemi ilk iki boyut itibariyle cinsiyet açısından farklılık göstermiştir. Kadın tüketicilerin lüks değer algısında sosyal değer görece en önemli iken, erkek tüketiciler için ise kişisel değer en önemli boyut olarak bulunmuştur.
