چکیده

افزایش آگاهی عمومی نسبت به اثرات سوء استفاده از نهاده­های شیمیایی موجب شده است که مصرف­کنندگان گرایش فزاینده به محصولات کشاورزی ارگانیک پیدا کنند. بالا بودن قیمت تمام شده این محصولات، اهمیت بررسی ترجیحات پرداختی مصرف­کنندگان را به منظور توسعه کشت آن روشن می­سازد. از این رو، این مطالعه تلاش می­کند تا مؤلفه­های مؤثر بر ترجیحات پرداختی مصرف­کنندگان را برای محصولات ارگانیک با بهره­گیری از مدل­سازی معادلات ساختاری شناسایی و مورد بررسی قرار دهد. داده­های مطالعه با جمع­آوری 142 پرسشنامه از بازدیدکنندگان نمایشگاه محصولات ارگانیک مشهد با استفاده از روش نمونه­گیری تصادفی ساده در اسفند ماه سال 1396 به دست آمده­اند. نتایج مطالعه بیانگر آن است که آگاهی و دانش مصرف­کنندگان، مشخصات فردی و نگرش مثبت نسبت به ویژگی­های محصولات ارگانیک به ترتیب به میزان 27/0، 59/0 و 21/0 بر ترجیحات پرداختی مصرف­کنندگان در جهت مثبت اثرگذار است. همچنین عوامل بازاریابی به طور غیر مستقیم از طریق اثرگذاری به میزان 68/0 بر نگرش نسبت به ویژگی­های محصولات ارگانیک، بر ترجیحات پرداختی مصرف­کنندگان مؤثر است. بر اساس نتایج بدست آمده، توصیه شده است که سیاست­گذاران نسبت به اطلاع­رسانی و آگاهی بخشی منافع محصولات ارگانیک اقدام جدی­تری داشته باشند.
