Resumo

Os queijos artesanais são alimentos locais de crescente interesse por parte dos consumidores. No entanto, o conhecimento empírico sobre os fatores que influenciam a intenção de compra de alimentos locais ainda é limitado. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar, à luz da teoria do comportamento planejado e da teoria do risco percebido, os fatores determinantes da intenção de compra de consumidores locais em relação a dois importantes queijos artesanais brasileiros. Além disso, verificamos se a atitude atua como variável mediadora na relação entre risco percebido e intenção de compra. Coletamos os dados presencialmente por meio de um questionário impresso aplicado a uma amostra de 343 consumidores. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio da análise de correspondência simples e modelagem de equações estruturais com estimação por mínimos quadrados. Os resultados indicam que a atitude, as normas sociais, o controle comportamental percebido e o risco percebido influenciam positivamente a intenção de compra, explicando 41% da variância. O risco percebido influencia positivamente a atitude, que, por sua vez, atua como um mediador parcial viável da relação entre risco percebido e intenção de compra. Identificamos que os consumidores locais de ambos os queijos artesanais não adquirem os produtos por uma obrigação pessoal de valorização do produto ou do produtor, mas sim porque mantêm relações próximas com os produtores, realizando compras diretas frequentes.
