Abstract
Neste artigo tem-se como objetivo principal analisar e descrever os atributos determinantes para a compra de defensivos agrícolas pelo produtor rural de café da região de Patrocínio/MG, verificando se a perspectiva teórica de Sheth, Mittal e Newman (2001) é adequada para tal. Elaborou-se inicialmente um instrumento de pesquisa que foi utilizado em um survey interseccional a partir dos pressupostos desse modelo. Os componentes individuais do instrumento foram divididos em cinco blocos, e em seguida utilizou-se a análise de cluster para obter um melhor agrupamento das variáveis contidas em cada bloco. Com o resultado dessa análise foi possível elaborar as hipóteses da pesquisa. Após essa fase, utilizou-se o teste qui-quadrado para julgar as hipóteses formuladas e validar a formação dos clusters. Para verificar o nível de similaridade contido nos atributos analisados na pesquisa foram feitas análises de correspondências simples e múltiplas. A partir desse procedimento estatístico, foi possível considerar adequado o modelo de Sheth, Mittal e Newman (2001). Como principal resultado pode-se identificar com base na classificação de Alpert (1971) os atributos determinantes para compra pelo produtor rural de café de Patrocínio/MG e região. ----- The article’s main goal’s to analyze and describe determining attributes for the purchase of agriculture defensives by coffee producers in the region of Patrocínio/MG, and also test if the theoretical perspective by Sheth, Mittal and Newman (2001) is suitable for this. Initially, it was elaborated a survey instrument that was used in an intersectional survey from the assumptions of this model. The individual components of the instrument were divided into five blocks, then used the cluster analysis to obtain a better grouping of the variables contained in each block. With the analysis results it was possible to elaborate the research hypothesis. Afterwards, it was used the qui-square test to judge formulated hypothesis and to valid the clusters formation. To verify the similarity level contained in the attributes analyzed on the research, simple and multiple correspondences analysis were done. Throughout this statistic procedure, it was possible to consider the model by Sheth, Mittal and Newman (2001) as being suitable. Therefore, as results of this research, based on Alpert rating scale (1971), it was possible to identify attributes for purchase by coffee producers in the region of Patrocínio/MG.
