今日各式產品之生命週期不斷在縮短當中,因此企業想要靠創新產品賺取高額的利潤,就必須在短時間內讓消費者能夠快速的接受新產品。而喜歡嘗試新的事物和願意接受新產品的消費者,就成為廠商重視之顧客族群。但具創新性之族群之消費行為與個人特質,例如其對價格之敏感度與對於本身購買決策之自信,又或是其是否包含以佔有為主的物質主義本質,過去研究並未深入討論。因此,本研究嘗試探討消費者創新性、物質主義、消費者自信心與價格敏感度間之關係。本研究利用LISREL程式來分析各向度之間關聯性。有效樣本共計734份,經競爭模式比較後,本研究發現:(1)當個人消費者創新性傾向越高時,其物質主義傾向越高;(2)當個人消費者創新性傾向越高時,其消費者自信心越高;(3)當消費者創新性越高時,其價格敏感度越高;(4)當個人物質主義越高時,其價格敏感度越低;(5)當個人物質主義越高時,其消費者自信心越低。本研究結果可供實務界進行新產品推廣策略之參考。
