W artykule ukazano złożoną naturę zachowań konsumentów, które w warunkach kryzysu gospodarczego ulegają zmianom, oddziałując na zachowania ekonomiczne jednostki. Realizacji powyższego celu sprzyjało ukazanie roli konsumenta jako podmiotu ekonomicznego oraz przykładów empirycznych odnoszących się do zmiany jego zachowań w wybranych krajach europejskich w warunkach kryzysu gospodarczego.Przeprowadzone analizy wskazują, iż kryzys w różnym stopniu oddziałuje na zachowania konsumentów i innych uczestników rynku, powodując ich zmiany. Oznaki kryzysu uwidaczniają się w decyzjach konsumentów, którzy dostrzegając niepewną sytuację i możliwości wystąpienia różnych rodzajów ryzyka, podejmują bardziej lub mniej przemyślane decyzje, ponadto poszukują sposobów przezwyciężenia kryzysu. Skutki kryzysu mogą być bardziej dotkliwe dla jednych konsumentów, a mniej uciążliwe dla innych.

In the article a folded nature of behavior of consumers was shown, which, in the conditions of an economic crisis is undergoing changes, influencing “economic behavior of the individual”. The realization of the above purpose was supported by the presentation of the role of the consumer as the “economic subject” as well as empirical examples relating to the change in his behavior in selected European countries in economic crisis. Conducted analyses show that the crisis, to a different extent, has an influence on the consumers’ and other market participants’ behavior, causing changes. Indications of the crisis are seen in consumers’ decisions, who, noticing the precarious situation and possibilities of the appearance of different risks, make their decisions, more or less thought through. Moreover, they seek ways to overcome the crisis. Effects of crisis can be more severe for some consumers and less troublesome for others.

Purpose: The aim of the study is to discuss the problems related to consumer time valuation and its implications. This domain remains relatively unexplored in marketing literature. Methodology: The author approached the time valuation problem in a synthetic and interdisciplinary way. To facilitate the analysis of time characteristics as a consumer resource and temporal decisions, the comparison with money was applied, which is an approach well established in the literature. Findings: Time can be a source of value only to selected consumers, as not all perceive time as scarce. Mental accounting for time is difficult; hence consumers tend to use heuristics to arrive at their temporal decisions and prefer immediate discounting of temporal benefits. Contrary to a popular adage, time is not money, at least in the context of the majority of consumers’ decisions. Research limitations/implications: Despite growth in the number of publications, knowledge of temporal aspects in consumer behavior is limited and fragmented. Less is known about how to turn the perceived value of time into customer value. Further investigation is needed to identify consumer groups that truly value time. Practical implications: The knowledge of temporal aspects of consumer behavior, and how consumers value time, would be of particular use in the service industry, where the “when” of customer value is usually provided in the form of “convenience”. Originality: This study sheds light on research gaps in the literature in an under- investigated subject, examining the link between the perceived value of time and possibilities to generate value based on temporal benefits.

Goal: To examine the impact of nutrition and health claims on Polish consumers' buying attitudes and intentions. Design/methodology/approach: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted with a group of 200 Polish consumers using the CAWI method, selected by means of purposive, "snowball" sampling. The survey form consisted of 4 parts: A - evaluation of photos of sample products with nutrition claims, health claims, both type of claims, or no claims (control group); B - answering questions about food labelling and the use of nutrition claims; C - opining on health and nutrition claims presented as separate, non-product-specific messages. Findings: The perception of the health and nutrition quality of products with health and nutrition claims was found to be strongly dependent on the consumer's attitude towards a given type of food. The presence of claims seems to have a neutral effect on the perception of the taste of products connoted with healthy eating, but a negative influence in the case of products considered unhealthy. Despite the great interest in the information contained in the labels of food products and healthy eating, Polish consumers still display only a slight degree of knowledge about such claims. At the same time, they seem to be skeptical of the reliability of the health and nutritional- related information on the packaging of food products, which is not correlated with their level of knowledge on the subject. The presence of claims is not decisive for consumers in terms of making purchasing decisions, and claims are less important to them than the use-by-date or the price of the product. Also, claims do not mean the product is perceived by consumers as less caloric. Practical implications: In order to meet the expectations of modern consumers, food producers should consider placing both types of claims on labels, as well as undertaking other promotional activities that draw consumers' attention to the health and nutrition benefits of their products. Due to the fact that a good knowledge of and interest in healthy eating does not translate into a better understanding of nutrition claims, it is necessary to increase consumer awareness of food law. Due to consumer skepticism about health and nutritional-related information, food producers should ensure that the information on their product labels is as consistent as possible. Originality and value: This is one of the few studies conducted among Polish food consumers that examine how the presence of health and nutrition claims on food labels affect perceptions and purchasing intentions regarding food products.

Online impulse buying is a complex behavior that is determined by many factors, not only external but also internal. Some consumers are less prone to irrational behavior than others. The aim of this study was to explore the impulse buying tendencies of challenging e-consumers. Due to the specificity of the profession, characteristics of highly educated people, and the generational mentality, academics of Generation X were assumed to be representatives of these e-consumers, unwilling to impulse buying. The data collected with an online survey confirmed this assumption. Respondents had not only a negative opinion of studied behavior but also a low tendency to it. Furthermore, this study was to indicate a group of stimuli that would induce unplanned purchases among challenging e-consumers. The results suggest that academics are more prone to impulse buying if it can be rationalized with, e.g., product utility or monetary savings, than in the case of purely emotional or hedonic reasons.

Theoretical background: Games are used in various fields beyond pure entertainment: education, health services or human resources. They are also considered one of the most rapidly growing trends in marketing. Using gamifiation to engage the consumer and increase his loyalty is commonly used in nearly all product categories. Playing games is fun and companies use it to attract and involve the consumers in their brands’ activities. In addition, the role of gamification in market research is increasing. It helps to understand consumer behaviour by inducing a more natural mood in the survey process, and increasing engagement and the cognitive accessibility of often hidden information. The effectiveness of gamification requires systematic verifiation in the experimental research. Researchers indicate the positive effect of gamified research on respondents’ engagement and efficiency.Purpose of the article: This article presents the current state of knowledge in the field of gamification in market research. Its main purpose is to share the author’s own research results which are the replication of former results showing the positive effects of gamified tasks used in surveys.Research methods: An experiment was conducted to verify the hypotheses regarding the increased effectiveness of gamified tasks compared to the regular approach as well as to the well-known projective techniques. A total of 132 participants were split into three groups: control, experimental 1 (projective techniques or simple gamification – addition of extra rules to regular questions) and experimental 2 (more complex, narrative and contextual tasks based on gamification).Main findings: The hypothesis was confirmed and the former effects were replicated – gamified tasks increase the respondents’ effectiveness compared to the standard tasks and also compared to the use of the well-known projective techniques.

What makes consumers buy online? What kind of behavior is involved in this process? The emergence of the Internet as a medium and the possibility of making transactions online has led many consumers to start shopping this way. Online shoppers are guided in their decision making by certain conditions, factors of psychological nature, as well as in the real world. Consumer behavior in the online shopping process is highly dependent on marketing activities. The study summarized in this article presents the accompanying behavior when consumers shop online and the categories of goods, which they choose predominantly while shopping remotely. Nowadays, it is not enough to compete by price anymore. Consumers expect that an online retailer will take care of their needs at every stage of the purchasing process.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that young people living in large Polish cities are distrustful of sharing different goods with strangers, and therefore, they are much more likely to benefit from collaborative consumption when they know the people with whom they make the transaction. Furthermore, the article is an attempt to show that financial reasons are one of the key factors for young people to participate in collaborative consumption. The structure of the article is as follows. The presentation of the concept of collaborative consumption and its basic forms is followed by a discussion about different tools supporting the development of collaborative consumption and the meaning of trust in such an alternative consumer trend. The next section of the article presents research methodology and a brief description of the study sample. Subsequently, the analysis focuses on collaborative consumption in the buying behavior of young people living in big Polish cities and on the most important factors influenacing the participation of the respondents in this alternative consumer trend. The article ends with a summary of the discussion and major conclusions.

The main aim of this article was to identify the behavior of consumers in the e-commerce market in Poland, according to the model of e-customer as adopted by Meier and Stormer. An attempt was made to answer the following questions: whether education has an impact on the propensity to make purchases over the Internet and the level of concern about Internet security, what are the greatest limitations of e-commerce, whether there is a clear link between the assessment of the overall impression of shopping online and satisfaction with service. The study shows that the largest group of respondents make purchases in online stores after carefully reading the information relating to the e-business and the products it offers, often adding a Web address to favorites returning later to obtain detailed information, or return to some services. At the same time they show a great interest in the price and terms of delivery. The research procedure used the analysis of literature, statistical data and results of the survey respondents of Lubuskie voivodship.

Consumer opinion and behavior research plays an important role in the development of the market of specific products. Currently, research in the field of consumer behavior towards organic food, which is gaining popularity on the Polish market whose production is in line with the concept of sustainable development and the European Green Deal related to it, is of particular importance. The aim of the study was to analyze the opinion and behaviors of consumers as regards organic fruit and vegetables and the promotion of these products as a determinant of them. The data for the analyzes came from empirical research conducted in Lublin at the turn of 2019 and 2020 by means of a proprietary questionnaire. The research was carried out on a sample of 534 respondents aged over 18. The scope of the research covered the opinions and behaviors of consumers towards organic fruit and vegetables as well as the factors determining the commencement of making or increasing the frequency of purchases of these products. An attempt was also made to defi ne the relationship between the opinions and behaviors presented by consumers and their demographic and socio-economic characteristics. The results of the research show that half of the respondents purchased organic fruit and vegetables, of which only 1/4 claimed to do so regularly and quite often (several times a week). The respondents most often purchased these products in specialized stores – with organic food. According to the surveyed consumers, organic fruit and vegetables are rich in nutrients, healthy and safe, and produced using environmentally friendly methods. The most important factors influencing the increase in purchases and consumption and thus the development of the market for organic products were the increase in the availability of this product category in the places of everyday shopping and the reduction of their prices as the most important factors. The conducted research showed that for the respondents, promotional campaigns aimed at popularizing organic food, its values and impact on human health are not without significance.

The article is concerned with the key elements of the offer of cause related marketing. At the beginning of the study the main questions connected with the conception are presented, and next a detailed description of the key elements of the CRM is given, taking into consideration their effect on consumer behavior. Our deliberations have shown that programs of cause related marketing are more effective when they are concerned with hedonistic products that have low prices, and when the support given as part of it has small unit value. Also the significance of the social problem for consumers, the amount of support offered and the reputation of the firm influence effectiveness of the actions.

Research background: Traditional financial institutions are facing new competitors - FinTech lenders. The development of these entities and their services depends on many factors, including the level of their acceptance and use by potential and/or current customers. This acceptance determines the ability to create desired financial results and defines the set of FinTech lenders' activities and also their environment aimed at shaping the offer which meets their consumers' expectations. The limited number of studies addressing the identification and assessment of the impact exerted by the adoption factors of lending services offered by FinTech lenders and the lack of such analyzes relating to these decisions made by consumers from Central and Eastern Europe argue for the need to conduct such research. Purpose of the article: Identify factors driving consumers' adoption of digital lending services offered by FinTech lenders in Poland. Methods: Critical analysis of the source literature, descriptive and comparative analysis, diagnostic survey, econometric methods (PCA, SEM used in the TAM). Empirical data come from the surveys carried out in May 2022 using the CAWI method and covering a representative sample of 1,000 Poles. Findings & value added: The study identified factors driving consumers' adoption of digital lending services, including perceived trust, risk, usefulness and financial health. It has been proven that the perceived ease of use and innovation do not represent the statistically significant constructs influencing the accepted adoption attitudes. The adopted research model shows a considerable power to explain the intention of using digital loans. The article is the first scientific study of this type discussing the identification of adoption factors for loan services offered by FinTech lenders operating on the Central and Eastern European market. The presented example of Poland being the leader in this dynamically developing market provides the background for conducting international comparative studies in the future.

Coraz więcej produktów spożywczych opatrywanych jest informacjami o wartościach odżywczych produktu i jego wpływie na zdrowie. Wiadomości te pomagają zrozumieć konsumentom wpływ różnych składników produktów spożywczych na zdrowie i dobre samopoczucie oraz są wsparciem w doborze prawidłowo zbilansowanego sposobu żywienia. Według rozporządzenia Unii Europejskiej 1924/2006 oświadczenia żywieniowe informują o szczególnych substancjach odżywczych, które znajdują się w produktach, z kolei oświadczenia zdrowotne mówią o związku, jaki istnieje między danym produktem spożywczym lub jego składnikiem a zdrowiem. Zagadnienia postrzegania oświadczeń żywieniowych i zdrowotnych oraz ich wpływu na proces zakupowy konsumentów zostały poruszone jedynie w literaturze zagranicznej, z kolei informacje o zachowaniach polskich konsumentów mają charakter fragmentaryczny.

More and more food is equipped with information providing useful information about product nutrition and its impact on health. This information helps consumers understand the impact of various food ingredients on the health and well-being, and support to select a properly balanced diet. According to EU Regulation 1924/2006 nutrition claims inform about the nutritional substances that are found in products that, in turn, health claims say about the relationship that exists between a food product or its ingredient and health. Perception issues of nutrition and health claims and their impact on the consumer purchasing process were raised only in foreign literature, while information about the behavior of Polish consumers in the context of purchasing products bearing nutrition and/or health claims are just fragmented and often inconsistent.

Reducing the quantities of food lost or wasted will be an emerging challenge in coming years. The sector contributing the most to food waste is households. The aim of this study is to evaluate consumer behavior on the food market in the context of wastage identification and assessment of consumer opinions in Poland regarding the causes of the problem of food waste in households. A quantitative study was carried out using individual direct questionnaire interviews (N = 1,145). Results showed that Polish consumer opinions regarding reasons for wasting food vary according to demographic and economic conditions. The least educated consumers and families with several children were found to be guided by economic premises in their purchases more often than other groups and plan their purchases more rationally. The causes of food wastage related to irrational behavior were more often named by consumers with higher standards of living and by the younger generation.

This study aims to discover different levels of research shopping behavior among Georgian consumers. It adopted a deductive approach by selecting the relevant models of customer behaviour from past papers and testing them in the Georgian market. In order to find the main themes associated with research shopping, five focus groups were held using exploratory and semi-structured questions. The responses were analyzed on the basis of two main customer motivations, utilitarian and hedonistic, in order to find the roots of each factor in consumer`s minds. The results indicate the important roles factors such as the retail sector, price, immediate product availability and staff training play in research shopping behaviour in the market. This research approaches the shopping motivations in a novel manner by connecting those roots to two other elements which are the retail sector and the nature of the retail outlet.

Purpose: Interest in older consumers as the subject of marketing strategy is growing in Western countries (Gunter, 1998). However, in Poland, this group is still neglected by marketers and perceived in stereotypical way, and its marketing potential is underestimated. The main goal of this research was to provide understanding of the contemporary older Polish population and especially older Polish consumers, including their values, needs, attitudes, opinions and behaviors. Methodology: In order to investigate the Polish “grey market,” we conducted survey research (CAPI) based on a representative quota – a random nationwide sample of n=1500 participants above 55 years old. Additionally, we also conducted qualitative research – 18 individual in-depth interviews (IDIs) at homes of consumers (ethnographic interviews). Findings: Based on the factor and cluster analysis (Weinstein, 1994) from the quantitative survey, 5 segments of older Polish consumers were selected: Fulfilled Optimists (14% of population), Bored with Life (17%), Passive Materialists (22%), Family-oriented Non-materialists (22%), and Excluded Traditionalists (25%). Segments differed in values, lifestyles, attitudes toward life, family, work and general life satisfaction. As a consequence of those psychological differences, segments differed in consumer behaviour, preferences and perception of marketing communication (advertising). Originality/Value: Our analysis shows that key areas, which determine particular consumer behaviour in each segment are – contrary to common belief – not demographic characteristics, but mainly psychological aspects (such as attitude to life, optimism, attitude to money, open-mindedness and general curiosity).

Aim/purpose - The paper aims to present a preliminary consumer typology based on the declared nutritional behaviors and selected lifestyle elements of Polish and Slovak consumers. Design/methodology/approach - The research was conducted in the first half of 2019, among non-randomly selected subjects representing their households from Poland and Slovakia. The empirical part of the work is based on the results of research employing a structured standardized interview. Cluster analysis was used in the analysis of the results. Findings - The results of the research showed that the eating behaviors of Polish and Slovak consumers differ. Some Polish and Slovak consumers follow the principles of healthy eating. Among Polish consumers we distinguished four types of consumers: I - "Driven by the principles of healthy eating"; II - "Implementing the principles of healthy eating"; III - "Ordinary bread eaters"; IV - "Consciously unaware." In turn, among Slovak consumers, we distinguished also fourth types: I - "Driven by the principles of healthy eating"; II - "Exercise and drink milk!"; III - "Not attaching importance to healthy eating"; IV - "Eat tastily and healthily." The distinguished types of consumers can be the basis for the food market segmentation. Knowledge of the typology based on declared eating behaviors and selected aspects of the lifestyle may enable food producers to develop an appropriate marketing strategy. Research implications/limitations - A certain limitation may be the non-random sample selection. An important aspect would also be to expand the analyzed research thread with additional aspects related to eating behavior and lifestyle. Another limitation is that the clusters were delivered in two separate processes for Poland and Slovakia, respectively. As a result, the clusters are different and represent two different typologies. Originality/value/contribution - The research may be an important source of information for researchers dealing with consumer typology. The distinguished types of consumers can be the basis for the food market segmentation.

Theoretical background: The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on every aspect of the economy and society. It forced changes in the functioning of many enterprises, also in the field of food production and delivery, and widely understood supply chains. The situation in the world has also contributed to changes in consumer behavior, which translated into, for example, forms of food delivery and payment.Methods: The aim of the study is to determine the level of satisfaction of Uber Eats consumers in Poland, as well as customer behavior and habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Another aim of this study is to identify problems and causes of customer dissatisfaction at every stage of the delivery chain. A survey of Uber Eats users is conducted to collect data on the level of satisfaction with the services offered by this company. The collected data was analyzed by means of a comparative analysis covering the two periods in which the study was conducted.Results and conclusions: Researching customer satisfaction in various areas has long been of interest to scientists. Particular interesting conclusions in this regard can be observed during the restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which introduced many restrictions in the everyday life of consumers, e.g. restaurants and eateries were closed, it was only possible to order take-out or with delivery. Research carried out at that particular time could change the behavior of customers, influence their opinion, and change the requirements and preferences. The study enables a new look at food ordering services in times of epidemics and evaluates the functioning of the Uber Eats supply chain in Poland.
