摘要

  本研究以參考群體建議觀點,探討個人進行網路合購時之從眾消費行為要素。本研究先將相關文獻彙整探討,再透過德爾菲法、層級分析法(Analytical Hierarchy Process,AHP)進行資料分析,以了解個人參與網路合購的從眾要素,給予企業在網路合購網站、平台設置上的建議,提升經營效益。 本研究採問卷調查,藉由網路合購平台發起合購活動的主購者、參與網路合購的網路使用者,及在合購平台上給予意見的消費者的專業經驗,探討個人在網路資訊、追求群體共同價值、投機心理之間相互影響個人參與網路合購的要素。共填答33份問卷,無效問卷2份,得有效問卷共計31份,有效問卷回收率達93.9%。 研究結果顯示,個人在網路合購從眾要素中,以網路所能提供的龐大資訊量最具關鍵的影響,追求群體共同價值觀則是其次。其中前五大主要關鍵的評估準則為電子意見反映欄、專家提供資訊、合購群體歸屬感、多數決以及仰慕團體。較不具關鍵影響因素是追求低價與降低風險。

關鍵字:參考群體建議、從眾行為、網路合購。
