Abstract

2018年台灣65歲以上老年人占總人口14.1%，正式邁入「高齡社會」。根據中華穀類食品工業技術研究所的調查，2017年台灣國內保健食品預估產值高達775億，顯示人們除了尋求傳統醫療體系來維持健康之外，對健康食品的需求也增加，對企業而言也是值得發展的事業。然而對於高端消費者的健康食品消費行為影響的因素仍待釐清。 本研究將高端消費者購買保健食品，視為追求健康行為的預防性行為，以健康信念模式為基礎，採用問卷調查南部工商經營社與扶輪社兩社團成員，工商經營社的社員為76人，扶輪社的社員為45人，兩個社團的社友總人數為121人，其中有53%為公司負責人共有64人，其餘社友為大型企業的高階主管，這些企業負責人所代表的公司平均資本額約為四千萬元，分析後提供一個整合性的模型，預測高端消費者的保健食品購買行為。問卷變項包括影響購買保健食品的四個主要構面，「威脅性認知」、「行為評價」、「主觀規範」、「自覺行為控制」及「購買意願」與「購買行為」，另加入健康信念模式的行動線索，「自評健康」及對台灣的「健康食品認證制度的認知」構面。 透過社團Line 群組發送線上問卷。發出121份，回收113份，經刪除未填寫完整的無效問卷後，有效問卷為105份，問卷回收率87%。問卷回收後進行SPSS統計分析。以「購買意願」為依變項所做階層複迴歸分析結果顯示，年齡41-50歲的人（β，0.26，p<0.01）比起31-40歲的受訪者，其購買保健食品的意願較高；健康信念模式構面中的「威脅性認知」（β，0.23，p<0.05）、「對保健食品的評價」（β，0.39，p<0.001）、「自覺行為控制」（β，0.35，p<0.001）這幾個變項正向影響受訪者對於保健食品的購買意願且達到統計上顯著水準（p值<0.05）。 以「購買行為」為依變項所做階層複迴歸分析結果顯示，「購買意願」對「購買行為」有影響（β，0.62，p<0.001），購買意願此變項正向影響受訪者的保健食品購買行為且達到統計上顯著水準。
