dc.description.abstract In the field of buying behavior, the effect of attitudes, self-confidence, perceived trust and past experience has long been recognized. However, none of these factors have been examined in the field of purchasing a bank loan. Thus, until now it has not been established whether: (i) attitudes towards bank loan have an effect on intention to get a bank loan from banks; (ii) self-confidence has effect of intention to get a bank loan; (iii) perceived trust toward the banking system has an effect on intentions to get a bank loan and finally; (iv) past-experience in getting a bank loan has an effect on intention to purchase a credit from banks. This study represents the first attempt to address these gaps in the literature by the effect of aforementioned variables on intentions to get a bank loan. To initially conceptualize the relationship between all these factors (attitude, self-confidence, perceived trust and past experience) and their possible impact on intention(s) to purchase a loan, a comprehensive literature review was engaged. Following the literature review, a number of hypotheses were developed to examine the possible effects of these factors on intention(s) to take out a bank loan. These proposed hypotheses were investigated using regression analysis with a total sample of 280 respondents. The finding indicated that all the factors (attitude, self-confidence, perceived trust and past experience) influence intention(s) to apply for a bank loan among Turkish Cypriot consumers. Moreover, it has been found that the relationship between these factors and intention to purchase a loan is positive: i) When a Turkish Cypriot’s attitude toward loaning is positive their intention to taking a bank loan also increases; (ii) Turkish Cypriot with higher level of self-confidence are more likely to apply for a bank loan; (iii) Turkish Cypriots with positive perceived trust toward banking system in TRNC are more likely to apply for a bank loan; (iv) Turkish Cypriot with positive past-experience about bank loans are more likely to purchase a credit from TRNC banks. Keywords: Buying Behavior, Intention(s) to take out a Bank Loan, Attitudes, Self-Confidence, Perceived Trust, and Past-Experience. en_US
dc.description.abstract ÖZ : Alım davranışı alanında, tavırların sonuçları, özgüven, algılanan güven ve geçmiş tecrübeler yer almaktadır. Ancak, bu etkenlerin hiçbiri banka kredisi alınırken göz önünde bulunmadı ve bu alanda herhangi bir çalışma yapılmadı. Bu zamana kadar bu konu üzerine araştırılmayan etkenler: (i) banka kredisi almak için arz üzerine olan tutumun bankalardan alınacak kredilere olan etkisi; (ii) banka kredisi almak için özgüvenin etkisi; (iii) bankacılık sistemi üzerine algılanan güven; (iv) geçmiş tecrübelerin alınacak banka kredisi üstünde olan etkisi. Bu çalışma ile söz konusu boşluklar iredelenecektir. Tüm bu faktörler (tavır, özgüven, algılanmış güven, geçmiş tecrübe) arasındaki ilişkiyi çözmek ve banka kredisi alınacağında bu faktörlerin etkisini incelemek için bu çalışma yapılmıştır. Edebi eleştiri bölümü sonrasında, banka kredisi alırken olası etkenleri inceleyen bir çok hipotez yürütülmüştür. Öngörülen hipotez, 280 katılımcının cevapları ile regrasyon analizi kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Bulgular ise tüm faktörlerin (tavır, özgüven, algılanmış güven, geçmiş tecrübe) Kıbrıslı Türkler’in banka kredisi almakta etken olduğunu göstermektedir. Bulgular, bu faktörlerin ve kredi alma isteğinin arasındaki ilişkinin olumlu olduğunu belirtmektedir: i) Kıbrıslı Türklerin kredi almaya karşı olan olumlu tavırları kredi alımlarını artırır; (ii) Yüksek özgüveni olan Kıbrıslı Türkler’in kredi başvururları daha olasıdır; (iii) Banka sistemlerine karşı güvenleri yüksek olan Kıbrıslı Türkler’in banka kredilerine başvuruları daha fazladır; (iv) Banka kredisi hakkında olumlu geçmişi olan bir Kıbrıslı Türk’ün, KKTC bankalarından kredi alması daha mümkündür. Anahtar Kelimeler: satın alma yaklaşımı, banka kredisi almak için niyet (ler), tavırlar, özgüven, algılanmış güven, geçmiş tecrübe. en_US
