Abstract

The fundamental objective of cultivating organic farm produces is to preserve the natural environment and protect eco system so as to maintain the environment where people can live. In the current social atmosphere, the value and attitude of the college students to the environment are significant as they will take the leading part in the future. College students in Busan participated in the survey for the study to prove the moderating effect of the confidence with organic farm produces by investigating the casual relationship among the purchase intention, the environmentally-friendly attitude, and the consumption value of college students. The questionnaires were distributed over the period from October $15^{th}$, 2016 to $30^{th}$.261 papers of the questionnaires were analyzed with SPSS (V 23.0) and AMOS (V 21.0) programs. The analysis on Confidence, Confirmatory Factors, Structural Equation Modeling was compared with Chi-square considering the degrees of freedom between the two models in order to investigate the moderating effect from the purchasing frequency. The result from the analysis confirms that there is a casual relationship between college students' values of organic farm products and the environmentally-friendly attitude. Consumer confidence has a moderating effect on the attitude and purchase intention. As it can be seen from the result of the analysis, it is necessary for municipal governments and the government to push ahead with the policies on organic farm products in the future as it is proved that there is a casual relationship among the attitude, purchase intention and the students' values of the organic farm products.

친환경농산물의 생산은 생태계 보호와 자연환경을 보존하여 인간이 살아 갈 수 있는 자연환경의 지속적 유지에 궁극적인 목적이 있다고 할 수 있겠다. 이와 같은 사회적 분위기에서 미래의 주역이 될 대학생들의 친환경농산물에 대한 가치관과 환경적 태도는 매우 중요한 의미가 있다고 할 수 있겠다. 본 연구는 대학생들의 친환경 소비가치관, 친환경적 태도, 구매의도간의 인과관계를 검정함에 친환경농산물의 신뢰의 조절효과를 검정하기 위하여 부산지역 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였다. 2016년 10월 15일부터 30일까지 설문지를 나누어 배포하고, 그중 261부를 SPSS(V 23.0)와 AMOS(V 21.0) 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도분석, 신뢰도 분석 및 확인적 요인 분석, 구조방정식 모형(Structural Equation Modeling)과 두 모형사이의 자유도를 고려한 Chi-square를 비교하여 구매횟수의 조절효과성을 검정하였다. 분석결과, 대학생들의 친환경농산물에 대한 가치관은 친환경적 태도와의 인과관계를 확인할 수 있었고, 소비자 신뢰는 친환경적 태도와 구매의도사이에서 조절효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 정부나 지방단체에서는 미래의 주역이 될 대학생들의 친환경농산물에 대한가치관과 친환경적 태도 및 구매의도와의 인과관계가 확인되었기 때문에, 미래의 친환경농산물 정책을 보다 적극적으로 추진하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
