The social environment in which the retailer conducts business is not often measured
for its fundamental influences on consumers' local purchasing behavior. This study,
using social capital theory as a theoretical framework, examines whether reciprocal
actions exist between community members as consumers and retailers and if these actions
are persuasive in predicting the economic activity regarded as consumer inshopping.
Determinants of inshopping behavior are analyzed from the community member's perspective
in a study of the rural community marketplace. The sample population consisted of
consumers living in two rural Iowa communities with populations less than 10,000,
agricultural-based economies, and retail mixtures of locally owned and operated small-sized
businesses as well as national chain and discount organizations. Structural equation
modeling estimated the causal patterns among consumers' attachment to community with
two endogenous variables regarding reciprocity and inshopping behavior. Findings
offer supporting evidence that social relationships aid in predicting rural marketplace
relationships.
