Motivation, Attitude, and Participation in Agricultural Fairs

Author

  • Acharya, Ram

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between agricultural fair visitor’s motivation, satisfaction, and loyalty using online survey data. The structural equation model results show that both push and pull motivations play a crucial role in determining customer satisfaction. Consumer’s motives also affect loyalty indirectly through their influence on fair visitor’s perceived satisfaction.
