What motivates consumers?  : Self Determination Theory from a consumer perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studiens syfte: Vårt syfte är att med hjälp av en enkätundersökning och etablerade motivationsteorier ta reda på vad som motiverar konsumenter inför ett bostadsköp.

Metod: Vi har använt oss av en kvantitativ metod och informationen har samlats in med hjälp av en elektronisk enkätundersökning för att sedan kopplas till Self Determination Theory (SDT).

Resultat & slutsats: Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av statistikprogrammet SPSS. Faktoranalysen resulterade i 13 faktorer, vilket slutligen gav en bild av 6 olika typer av konsumenter som alla motiveras på olika sätt.

Förslag till fortsatt forskning: SDT skulle kunna användas på fler konsumentområden såsom upplevelser, resor eller för att ta reda på varför vi köper olika typer av varor.

Uppsatsens bidrag: Vårt examensarbete har bidragit med att identifiera de motiv som driver oss till bostadsköp. Studien har visat att SDT kan vara ett lämpligt verktyg för framtidens fastighetsmäklare och att resultatet kan vara användbart i fastighetsmäklarrollen. 

Abstract [en]

Aim of the study: The aim is to investigate consumers underlying motivation when they buy a house or a unit. This will be based on a survey and established theories of motivation such as Self Determination Theory.

Method: We have used a quantitative method and the information was gathered from an electronic survey.

Result & Conclusions: The statistical program SPSS was used to analyze the responses of the survey. To find the underlying correlations among the questions, we conducted a factor analysis. It resulted in 13 factors, which were narrowed down to 6 different types of consumers.

Suggestions for future research: SDT can be used in different fields of consumer behaviour such as tourism and travelling, or to find out why we buy different types of goods.

Contribution of the thesis: This thesis has contributed to the identification of the underlying motives behind buying a home. The study shows that SDT can be a suitable tool in marketing for future real estate agents.
