چکیده

در دنیای رقابتی امروزه با انواع مختلف محصولات، موفقیت هر محصول در فروش، مستلزم این است که بسته‌بندی و ظاهر محصول بتواند ارتباط مؤثری را با خریداران برقرار کند و زمینه جلب نظر مشتری را فراهم سازد. با توجه به نقش و اهمیت بسته‌بندی در رفتار خرید مصرف‌کننده، هدف این پژوهش، بررسی و تحلیل مؤلفه‌های مؤثر بسته‌بندی بر تمایل به خرید محصولات غذایی است. نوع پژوهش از نظر هدف کاربردی و به لحاظ ماهیت روش کار از نوع توصیفی (غیرآزمایشی) است. جامعه آماری پژوهش حاضر، شامل کلیه مصرف‌کنندگان محصولات بسته‌بندی‌شده مواد غذایی است که به فروشگاه‌های زنجیره‌ای در سطح شهر اراک مراجعه نموده‌اند. نمونه آماری با توجه به جدول کرجسی و مورگان به تعداد 364 نفر تعیین و با روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی ساده انتخاب شدند. ابزار جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، پرسشنامه‌ای استاندارد و ساختارمند بود که روایی محتوایی و صوری آن با استفاده از نظر متخصصان و صاحب‌نظران امر و پایایی آن با استفاده از ضریب آلفای کرونباخ مورد تائید قرار گرفت. یافته‌ها نشان داد مؤلفه‌های بسته‌بندی مؤثر بر میل به خرید محصولات غذایی به ترتیب در عامل‌های (رنگ بسته‌بندی)، (طرح بسته‌بندی) و (اندازه بسته‌بندی) خلاصه شدند. در مجموع این عوامل توانستند 73 درصد از کل واریانس متغیر وابسته را تبیین نمایند. می‌توان گفت بسته‌بندی مواد غذایی بر افزایش فروش مؤثر است. نتایج این تحقیق نشان داد شرکت‌هایی که در زمینه تولید و بسته‌بندی محصولات غذایی، برنامه‌ریزی دقیق و سنجیده‌ای دارند، در بلندمدت می‌توانند از طریق کسب مزیت رقابتی در میان رقبا عملکرد بهتری کسب کنند و این مزیت رقابتی منجر به افزایش فروش در طی زمان می‌گردد.
