Uso de redes sociales en decisiones de compra: una perspectiva desde universitarios de instituciones privadas en Medellín
Use of social networks in purchasing decisions: a perspective from university students of private institutions in Medellín
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Las redes sociales tienen un impacto significativo en las decisiones de compra de los consumidores, especialmente, entre los estudiantes universitarios. No obstante, existen vacíos respecto al efecto específico de factores como la percepción de seguridad, la imagen de marca, la influencia social y la facilidad de uso en estas decisiones. Dado que estas plataformas digitales influyen en la adquisición de productos y servicios, resulta clave comprender cómo interactúan con el comportamiento de compra de los jóvenes. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar los principales factores que influyen en la decisión de compra a través de redes sociales en estudiantes universitarios de instituciones privadas en Medellín. Para lograrlo, se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, de diseño no experimental y alcance descriptivo, mediante la aplicación de una encuesta estructurada a 301 estudiantes. Los resultados mostraron que el 79% utiliza Instagram para comprar, y que los factores más determinantes en su decisión son la facilidad de uso (48%), la confianza en la marca (75%) y la percepción de seguridad (85%). Aunque la experiencia de compra es muy positiva, persisten dudas sobre el manejo de los datos personales. Se concluye que las redes sociales son herramientas eficaces para el comercio digital, pero requieren mayor transparencia y protección para generar confianza duradera.
