Abstract
Este trabajo analiza la relación entre las dimensiones de riesgo percibido, en el mercado de medicamentos genéricos. Este tema no ha sido suficientemente estudiado desde el punto de vista de marketing. Por consiguiente, el estudio realizado es de gran interés, tanto desde una perspectiva académica como social. Tras analizar la literatura, se desarrolla un trabajo empírico en el que se propone un modelo que analiza el papel moderador del riesgo psicológico, en la influencia del resto de dimensiones de riesgo y el riesgo percibido total. Para probar dicho modelo, se realiza un trabajo de campo que capta la percepción de riesgo del consumidor cuando compra medicamentos genéricos. Los resultados del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales indican que tanto el riesgo psicológico como el riesgo físico tienen un efecto positivo y directo sobre el riesgo percibido total. También muestran que el riesgo psicológico modera el efecto de las dimensiones de riesgo: funcional, económico y social, sobre el riesgo percibido total. Por consiguiente, los agentes de la administración pública implicados en el desarrollo del mercado de medicamentos genéricos deberían intentar reducir la percepción de riesgo entre los consumidores, poniendo especial énfasis en el riesgo físico y psicológico. Esto aumentará la confianza del consumidor en los medicamentos genéricos y llevará a que adopten un papel activo al solicitar este tipo de medicamentos tanto a médicos como a farmacéuticos. /
This study examines the relationship between perceived risk dimensions in the generic drug market. This topic has not been sufciently investigated from a marketing point of view. Its study is thus of great interest from both academic and social points of view. After analysing the relevant literature, the current research work thus proposed a model for analysing the mediating role played by psychological risk in inuencing other risk factors regarding overall risk. The model was tested via a eld study capturing consumer perceptions of risk when buying generic drugs. The results of structural equation modelling indicated that both psychological and physical risk have a positive, direct effect on perceived risk. The results also showed that psychological risk mediated the effects of performance and economic and social risk on overall risk. Public agents involved in developing the generic drug market should thus try to reduce perceptions of risk amongst consumers, placing special emphasis on physical and psychological risk factors. This would increase consumer trust in generic drugs and encourage patients to playing an active role in asking their physicians and pharmacists for these types of drug.
