Abstract: | The purpose of the article is to provide an instrument that measures product involvement and its effects on ethical product consumption in the context of fair trade products. A model is constructed based on in-depth literature analysis, and analyzed using structural equation modeling. According to the study, the construct for ethical products seems to be a valid predictor of involvement. Furthermore, the involvement seems to be higher in the ethical product category than in an "ordinary" product category. The article provides a useful ground from which practical implications for the marketing of fair trade products can be derived. |
