“ANALYSIS OF FACTORSAFFECTINGCONSUMER BEHAVIORINUSINGRUBBERSHOES”


1.1  Background
Development of the business world today has brought the business community to a very tight competition to compete for consumers. Various approaches are taken to get public sympathy either through improved infrastructure and the high technology-enabled human resource development. Competition to provide the best to the consumers has put consumers as decision makers. The increasing number of similar companies that operate with a variety of products / services offered, allows the community to make choices according to their needs.
Currently the marketing success of a company is not only judged by how much consumers are successfully obtained, but also how to retain the consumer. In marketing is known that after consumers make purchasing decisions, there is a process called post-purchase behavior based on the notion that satisfied and dissatisfied. Sense of satisfied and dissatisfied consumers lies in the relationship between consumer expectations with performance received from the product / service. When the product / service does not meet consumer expectations, consumers are not satisfied, so that in the future consumers will not re-purchase. And conversely if a product / service exceeds customer expectations, consumers will feel satisfied and will re-purchase.
Post-purchase consumer behavior is essential for the company. For all companies, both of which sell products and services, post-purchase consumer behavior, will determine the interest of consumers to buy more products / services of the company. There is a likelihood that consumers will not buy products / services of the company again after feeling discrepancy quality product / service that you get with the desire or what were described previously.
As of this moment, the fashion world is very wide and become a part of everyday human life. Expertise affects the fashion world in the makeup and lifestyle of modern society's growing obey successive patterns into added value, especially sneakers. One fashion that affect consumers, especially on Campus E Gunadarma University student is using more and more of his sneakers as footwear is used for traveling. And not infrequently the sneakers market businesses through social networks because it is considered more effective and efficient. Shape and color that diverse makes consumers are increasingly interested in using a rubber shoe. Based on the function, shoes are items that are used as footwear. Alas to protect the foot from direct interaction of the soil or the road that will be in the stampede. Trend shoes every year, even every month is always changing rapidly. As is the case with rubber shoes, rubber shoes are shoes that are very trendy this year.

1.2  Problem Formulation
Based on the background mentioned above, the formulation of the problem in this paper is:
1.      What factors are affecting consumers in the use of rubber boots?
2.      Which factors of which the most influential to the decision to use rubber boots?

1.3  Research Objectives
In accordance with the problems that have been mentioned above, the purpose of this paper include:
1.      To determine the influence of factors affecting consumers in the decision to use rubber boots.
2.      To determine the factors that most influence the decision to use rubber boots.

1.4  Benefits of Research
The benefits to be gained from this study are as follows:
a.       Practical benefits.
For rubber shoe manufacturer, this research in the decision to manufacture products tailored to customer needs.
b.      Academic Benefits
This research is useful to assist authors in applying the knowledge learned during the lecture. And research is also expected to provide inspiration for writers who want to do similar research. Can be used as a complementary data sources or references in conducting similar research on consumer behavior.
2.1 Definition of Consumer Behavior
      Understanding consumer behavior is "Consumer behavior can be defined as the behavior that customer display in searching for, purchasing, using, evaluating, and disposing of products, services, and ideas they expect they will satisfy needs".
2.2  Analysis of Consumer Behavior
Consumers aim to consume / use of a product is to maximize total satisfaction. (VincenGaspersz, 1996 p.116) basically refers to the concept that consumer behavior is related to:
1.      Ownership
The meaning of Ownership in this case is supported by the social power to take control of something that is exclusively owned and used it for personal purposes.
2.      Use
Use in consumer behavior is usually a function of the object itself.
3.      Consumption
According to Albert C. Mayers sense consumption is the use of goods and services directly and the last to meet the needs of human life.
4.      The benefits of the product.
Product benefits in terms of consumer behavior is based on the quality of the consumer so that it can be said that a seller has provided quality products or services if the seller meets or exceeds customer expectations.
2.3 Factors influencing consumer perceptions and expectations         
1. Social Factors
a. Group attitudes and behaviors are influenced by many small groups. Group where the people are who have direct influence called the group membership. Membership group comprised of two, includes the primary groups (family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers) and secondary groups are more formal and have a little routine interactions (religious groups, professional associations and trade unions). (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, pp. 203-204).
b. Family Influence.
Families provide a great influence in purchasing behavior. Market participants have examined the role and influence of the husband, wife, and child in the purchase of different products and services. Children, for example, gives a great influence in decisions involving the fast food restaurant. (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, p.204).
c. Roles and Status
Someone has some groups such as families, associations, organizations. A role consists of the activities that are expected to be done on a person in accordance with those around him. Each role brings a status reflecting the general award given by the society (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.135).
2. Personal Factors
a. Economic Situation
One's economic situation will affect product choice, for example, positioned rolex upscale consumers while TIMEX middle intended for consumers. Economic situation of someone really, really affect product selection and purchasing decision on a particular product (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.137).
b. Lifestyle
Patterns are expressed in a person's life activity, interest, and opinion of the person. People who come from cultures, social classes, and the same job might have a different lifestyle (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.138)
c. Personality and Self Concept
Personality is a unique characteristic of the psychology that leads to the stability and ongoing response to the environment itself, for example, people who are confident, dominant, likes socializing, autonomy, defensive, adaptable, aggressive (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.140) . Each person has a complex picture of yourself, and the person's behavior tends to be consistent with the self-concept (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, p.212).
d. Age and Life Cycle Stage
People change the goods and services purchased over the life cycle. The taste of food, clothes, furniture, and recreation is often associated with age, bought also shaped by the family life cycle. Important factors associated with age is often overlooked by traders. This may be due to the large difference in age between the people who determine the marketing strategy and the people who buy your products or services. (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, pp.205-206)
e. Occupation
One's work affects the goods and services purchased. For example, construction workers often buy lunch from the catering that come to work. Business executives, bought lunch from a full service restaurant, while the office workers bring his lunch from home or buy from the nearest fast-food restaurant (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, p. 207).
3.  Psychological Factors
a. Motivation
Urgent need to direct someone to seek satisfaction of needs. Based on Maslow's theory, a person driven by a need at a time. Human needs arranged according to a hierarchy, from most urgent to least urgent (psychological needs, safety, social, esteem, self-actualizing). When the most urgent need was satisfied, it needs to stop being a motivator, and that person will then try to satisfy the needs of the next most important (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, p.214).
b. Perception
Perception is the process by which a person choose, organize, and interpret information to form a meaningful picture of the world. People can form a variety of different perceptions of the same stimulus (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, p.215).
c. Learning
Learning is a process, which is always growing and changing as a result of new information received (may be obtained from reading, discussion, observation, thinking) or from actual experience, both received the latest information as well as personal experience acts as a feedback for the individual and provide basic for future behavior in similar situations (Schiffman, Kanuk, 2004, p.207).
d. Beliefs and Attitude
Beliefs are thoughts that someone believes something descriptive. Beliefs may be based on indigenous knowledge, opinions, and faith (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.144). While attitudes are evaluations, feelings of like or dislike, and a relatively consistent tendency of a person to an object or idea (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.145).
4. Cultural Factors
Basic values, perceptions, desires, and behaviors that one has learned through family and other important institutions (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.129). The most fundamental determinant of a person's desires and behavior. Culture, compromising basic values, perceptions, wants, and behaviors learned someone constantly in an environment. (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, pp.201-202).
a. Subculture
A group of people who share a common value system based on life experiences and circumstances, such as nationality, religion, and region (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.130). Although consumers in different countries have some similarities, values, attitudes, and behavior often differ dramatically. (Kotler, Bowen, Makens, 2003, p.202).
b. Social Class
Grouping individuals based on shared values, interests, and behavior. Social groups are not only determined by one factor such as income, but also determined by occupation, education, wealth, and other (Kotler, Armstrong, 2006, p.132)

Reliability test results can be seen in the output Reliability Statistics. Obtained Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.909. Cronbach (1984) suggested limits for equipment that meets the reliability requirement, which has a value of Alpha coefficients of between 0.5 to 0.95. Based on Cronbach's limitations, it can be concluded that the measuring instrument in this study reliable.

4.2.3. Linear Regression Test Results
Regression testing is intended to determine the linear relationship between two or more independent variables (social, personal, and marketing mix) with the dependent variable (purchase decisions). In this study, multiple linear regression using SPSS 17.0 shows the results of the calculation as follows:

a. Dependent Variable: Y
Sources: the results if the data using SPSS 17.0 (2012)

From the above it can be obtained the following regression equation:
Y = a + b1x1 + b3x3 + b2X2
0.288x1 Y = -0746 + + + 0.411x2 0.490x3
Description:
Y = making use of rubber boots
a = constant
b1, b2, b3 = regression coefficient
x1 = Social
x2 = Personal
x3 = Marketing Mix

From the equation above, it can be seen that:
1. -0746 Valued constants; This means that if the variable social, personal and marketing mix is 0, then the decision is the use of rubber boots value -0746.
2. Social regression coefficient value 0288; This means that if the social variables increased by 1, the decision use rubber boots to increase by 0288 assuming a fixed value independent of other variables.
3. Private variable coefficient value 0411; This means that if the private variable increased by 1 then making use of rubber boots to increase by 0411 assuming a fixed value independent of other variables.
4. Marketing mix variable coefficient value 0.490; This means that if the marketing mix variables increased by 1 then making use of rubber boots to increase by 0490 assuming the other independent variables fixed value.

4.2.4. Multiple Correlation Test Results (R)
Multiple correlation analysis is used to determine the relationship of independent variables, namely social, personal, and marketing mix, the dependent variable, ie making use of rubber boots. From the results of calculations using SPSS 17.0, the results obtained are as follows:

Based on the output above, the value of R and is positive for 0884. According Sugiyono (2007), as quoted by Duwi Priyatno (2010; 65), provide guidelines for interpretation of the correlation coefficient as follows: 0.00-0.199 is very low, is low 0.20-0.399, 0.40-0.599 is moderate, 0.60-0.799 is strong , 0.80-1 is very strong. Because the value of multiple correlation is between 0.8-1 and is positive, that is 0884, it can be concluded that there is a very strong relationship between the direct and independent variables, namely social, personal and marketing mix, the dependent variable, namely the use of decision sneakers, meaning if the independent variable increases, the social, personal, and increased marketing mix, then the dependent variable will increase, making use of the sneakers will also increase.
From the table above, also obtained the value of the Standard Error of the Estimate is equal to 0.45116, this means the number of errors in making predictions is the use of rubber boots at 0.45116

4.2.5        Determination Test Results
Determination analysis is used to determine the percentage contribution of the influence of the independent variables, namely social, personal and marketing mix, the dependent variable, ie making use of rubber boots. According to Santoso (2001), as quoted by Duwi Priyatno (2010; 66), for regression with more than two independent variables used Adjusted R ² as the coefficient of determination. From the above output results, obtained figures adjusted R ² of 0.768. This shows that the percentage contribution of the influence of the independent variables, namely social, personal, and marketing mix, the dependent variable, ie making use of rubber boots, was 0.768 or 76.8%. While the remaining 23.2% are influenced or explained by other variables not included in this study.
