ABSTRACT

One of its important bases in choosing a commodity or


product is its standards. Standards are the distilled
wisdom of people in Specific commodity or product. Aside
from meats and vegetables, fish are one of the common good
preferred especially here in Buenavista where this place is
rich water resources so consumers have their preference in
terms of choosing the best fish.
In this research, the researchers focuses on how
customers chooses a fish based on their standards. Through
this research, other customers can have ideas on how they
will choose a commodity or product.
This study entitled “Standards of Customers in Buying
Fish in Buenavista Public Market” aims to know the most
preferred standard of customers in buying fish. Also, to
know what are their bases. This study used a qualitative
type particularly the descriptive method through a semi-
structured interview and is only limited here in Brgy. 3
Buenavista Public Market with 80 respondents aged 25 years
old and above.
The result shows that the most preferred basis of
customers is the freshness of fish among the other
preferences. Therefore the researchers concluded that
freshness of fish is the most preferred basis of the
Buenavistahanons where it can meet their satisfaction in
buying fish.
Hence, the result of this study, highly recommend
that fish vendors and future fish vendors should consider
the customers’ desired preferences. They must maintain the

cleanliness of their stalls and preserve the freshness of


fish. For the future researchers, they must widen the
information with regards to this study and take a deeper
understanding in regards to the standards of customers in
buying a fish.

CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction with Background of the study

In choosing a commodity, people think first the


quality and also the quantity, it is called standards.
Standards are what the customers picky on what commodity
they will buy. Through standards, they are able to choose
the product that would satisfy themselves.

As years go by, many establishments have arised. And


because of that, customers were confused in where they
should choose a commodity, and that caused the birth of
competition, competition of the suppliers to capture the
loyalty of the consumers

It is known that fish is one of the basic needs for


us to live, another one is, it is more healthier among
other meats such as chicken, and pork. In choosing a fish,
consumers have series of standards in order for them to
assure that they have got the satisfaction they need while
also ensuring the safety of the family from disease.

Fit for the budget, the freshness of the fish,


health benefits for diet, “suki”, well-known and trusted
vendor. These are just the standards of the consumers in
choosing commodity of fish. Usually high quality and low
price can trigger the decision-making of the consumers and
it can change their buying behavior to purchase fish. By
Saint James High School
Buenavista Agusan del Norte

________________________________________________________________________

this behavior of every consumer it can lead to their


satisfaction and loyalty to the vendor if ever qualified to
the consumer’s standards.

To know more of the standards of the consumers, the


researchers roamed around the whole public market of
Buenavista to know the pulse of the society.

Review of Related Literature

In a world where most of the people are business-


minded and every product is bigger or better compared to
its competitors, consumers begun to face problems on to
whom his/her loyalty belongs. The standards of the consumer
is caused by their buying behavior (Ainsle and Rossi,1998).
Therefore both extrinsic and intrinsic factors must be
accounted when trying to differentiate a product from its
competitors. In these circumstances, brands can potentially
play many different roles in the consumer decision process
(Abdurrahman ISIK & Mehmet Fatih YASAR, 2015). (Romani et
al. 2012) shows that consumers' psychological, sociological
and economic processes are simultaneously involved in
choice behavior.

A broad variety of efforts and theories that attempt


to describe the factors which influence the consumers and
their behaviors when making purchasing decisions. The goal
of the investigation of consumer behavior is to discover
patterns of consumers' attitudes in their decision to buy
or to ignore a product. (Matsatsinis, Samaras, 2000).
Consumers’ preferences for products or brands arise from
the combination of many different factors. Some factors
come from features of the product itself (e.g., price,
durability), while others are attributes of consumers
themselves (e.g., goals, attitudes, discretionary income),
(Venkatraman, Clithero, Fitzsimons, and Huettel, 2012).

Another, Fornell (1992) pointed out those customers


satisfaction is the overall measurement of customer’s
Saint James High School
Buenavista Agusan del Norte

________________________________________________________________________

experience. According to the 1509000 Quality Management


System (2001) that the satisfaction the customers have been
met because of the degree of customer’s awareness, and
acceptance of its services which includes product, quality,
price, and open hours.

According to the Center for the Study of Social


Policy (2007), it makes sense to involve and consult
customers when it comes to customer’s satisfaction
approaches. Customers' satisfaction is a highly variable
assessment that every individual makes based on the
information.

And also, consumer's preference explains how a


consumer ranks a collection over another. This definition
assumes that consumers rank goods and/or services by the
amount of satisfaction or utility afforded. However, there
are no single standards. Every consumer have different
preferences based on psychological factor like motivations
and also due to the environmental and situational forces.

As stated by the Science Direct (2014), customer


satisfaction is very important for logistics companies
seeking competitive advantage because they realize that if
they do not satisfy the expectation of customers, the
loyalty will be taken. Based on The Institute of Customer
Services (2017), service standards are important for
customers, potential customers, employees and management of
a business. They help to define what a customer can expect
and to remind management and employees of the challenge and
obligations that they face.

To sum it all, Laroche and Parsa (2000) found out that


the people decide to choose a product because of the
quality of goods and services being produced by the
producer and also they prefer instant satisfaction of their
taste buds.

________________________________________________________________________

Theoretical Framework

According to the Dissonance Theory, a person who


expected a high-quality product and receive a low-quality
product would recognize the disparity and experience a
cognitive dissonance (Cardozzo, 1965). That is the
disconfirmed expectations create a state of dissonance or a
psychological discomfort (Yi, 1990). According to this
theory, the existence of dissonance produces pressures for
its reduction, which could be achieved by adjusting the
perceived disparity. This theory holds that "post exposure
ratings are primarily a function of the expectation level
because the task of recognizing disconfirmation is believed
to psychologically uncomfortable. Thus consumers are
posited to perceptually distort-discrepant performance so
as to coincide with the prior expectation level" (Oliver,
1977, p.480). For instance, if a disparity exists between
product expectations and product performance, consumers may
have a psychological tension and try to reduce it by
changing their perception of the product (Yi, 1990).
Cardozzo argues that consumers may raise their evaluations
of those products when the cost of that product to the
individual is high.

As well as in the market, the consumer who received a


low-quality product that didn't meet their expectations, it
will result to dissonance between the customer standards
and the chosen commodity.

Due to inconstant change of price of the fish, consumers


expect that the quality of fish is depending on it, too, on
Saint James High School
Buenavista Agusan del Norte

________________________________________________________________________

the price. When the price of fish is high, it is also


expected that those kind of fish is high-quality or in a
state of shortage. Also, when the price is low, the quality
of fish is low, the quality of fish is not high or there a
surplus.

So if dissonance would happen, customers try to restart


their mind and their perception on the commodity, so that
dissonance on their mind will be gone.

Conceptual Framework

Basically, it is normal for consumers to have choices


in buying, some may be thorough and they do have standards
to satisfy their needs.
And so, the researchers’ task is to dig out the
underlying standards in buying fish in terms of its quality
and among all the various standards which among to them are
most desired by the consumers.

the descriptive method. The data collection will be
gathered through a semi-structured interview to the market
goers in Public Market of Buenavista, Agusan del Norte. The
data collected will be analyzed through frequency
distribution and percentage.

The research design will be the tool to find what is the


most preferred answer among all the choices during the
interview. Also, in order to distinguish what they prefer
the most in choosing a valuable commodity, if they prefer
more on quality that quantity and if they are satisfied or
dissatisfied with their chosen product.

________________________________________________________________________

Research Respondents

In this study, the researchers randomly selected 30


consumers aged 25 years old and above who are in the act of
buying and who are more knowledgeable in choosing a
commodity.

Research Instrument

In this study, the researchers used the semi-


structured type of interview method in which the
researchers will provide questions that will be asked upon
the time of interview. Other questions have choices so that
it will be easy for them to give answer, if their answer is
not on the choices, they are free to give other answers.
Another, researchers are also open for further explanations
on their chosen answer. More so, a voice recorder will be
used to record the interview.

In addition to this study, the researchers will ask


permission to the respondents to conduct an interview as it
will take their time, and also, it might not sound
disrespectful to the respondents who are usually elder than
the researchers.

follows. In gathering data, the researchers used interview method
in which the questions will be asked to the respondents in order
to gather relevant data.

After the respondents answered the questions, they


were checked tallied and analysed.

Statistical Treatment

After collecting the data need for the study, the


researchers will be tabulating and analyzing the gathered
data by the use of statistical tools. The following are the
statistical tools that will be used:

1. Frequency Distribution

In this method, a table that displays the


frequency of various outcomes in a sample is presented. So,
the researchers will collect all the data, specifically the
answers of the respondents in the said interview and will
sort all the same answers on the table.

2. Percentage

the questions had been answered regarding as to what are
their bases in buying fish. As shown in Figure 2,
customers’ most preferred basis are as follows; freshness

respondents (92.5%), price having a total of 9 out of 80

(7.5%), appearance having a total of 4 out of 80 (5%),
kinds of fish which has 3 out of 80 (3.75%) and lastly is
the health benefits having a total of 2 out of 80
respondents (2.5%). Therefore, freshness was the most
preferred basis in buying fish among all of the 80
respondents.

According to K.A, Abbas et.al.(2008) freshness of


fish in most markets was found to be the significant
quality parameter. The state of fish freshness was assessed
by various methods but most of them were costly, time-
consuming.

Basically, freshness should be the top preference of


every consumer when buying fish. Though time-consuming and
quite costly, but the satisfaction when consumed was
guaranteed. Another, if customers would buy spoiled fish,
they are also risking the health of their family.

According to a proponent named Bremner and


Sakaguchi(2000), among all the previous factors that
described the quality of fish, freshness, together with
safety, are the most fundamental basis in buying fish. The
state of freshness can be described by a variety of
definite properties of the fish which can be assessed by
various indicators.

For figure 3, the researchers analysed the data


wherein respondents answered the question on how will they
examined if the fish is still fresh. Out of the given
answers of the respondents, examining the fish’s eyes has
the highest percentage in determining the freshness of the
fish in which 45 out of 80 respondents answered (56.25%),
followed by examining of the gills in which 43 out of 80
respondents answered (53.75%), firmness of the fish’
stomach that 20 out 80 answered (25%), the smoothness of
the fish’ scales in which 14 out of 80 respondents (17.5%),

________________________________________________________________________

moving in which only 1 out 80 respondents (1.25%) were the


least bases in examining the freshness of the fish.

Considering all the developments in instrumental


methods that have occurred in the last decade, sensory
methods remain the most satisfactory way of assessing the
freshness of fish and fishery products. Objectives seafood
sensory tests, based on the certain attribute of a raw fish
(Skin ,eyes ,gills ,texture ,etc.), are the most commonly
used methods for quality assessment of raw whole fish in
the inspection service and fishing industry (Martinsdottir
et al.,2009)

According to K.A, Abbas ,et.al.(2008) sensory


evaluation is define as the scientific discipline used to
evoke, measure, analysed and interpret characteristics of
food as perceived by the senses of sight, smell, taste,
touch and hearing.

Freshness can be explained to some extent by some


objective sensory, (bio) chemical, microbial and physical
parameters and can therefore be define as an objective
attribute which must show normal odour, flavor, appearance
and texture characteristics of the species to be used for
samples. The human senses play a fundamental role in this
assessment, which we call sensorial evaluation.
