الملخص

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تعرّف درجة الممارسات التسويقية اللاأخلاقية في أسواق التجزئة في شمال الضفة الغربية ومدى تقبل المستهلكين لها، وعلاقتها ببعض المتغّيرات، واتبع الباحث المنهج الوصفي الاستدلالي، وطوّر استبانة لقياس الممارسات التسويقية اللاأخلاقية، ووزعها على عّينة ملائمة من مجتمع المستهلكين، وحجمها (226) مستهلكاً في أسواق التجزئة في شمال الضفة الغربية، وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى أن هناك درجة إدراك مرتفعة للمستهلكين نحو الممارسات التسويقية اللاأخلاقية في أسواق شمال الضفة الغربية والى وجود درجة منخفضة للوعي بقبول الخداع، ودرجة توفر متوسطة للوسائل الرقابية ضد الخداع، وأظهرت الدراسة عدم وجود فروق في درجة الممارسات التسويقية اللاأخلاقية تُعزى لمتغيرات الجنس والمستوى التعليمي، وفي المقابل أظهرت وجود فروق في درجة الممارسات التسويقية اللاأخلاقية لصالح أصحاب الدخل الأعلى، ولصالح الأكبر عمراً، وقد أوصى الباحث بتوصيات أهمها تفعيل جمعيات حماية المستهلك في مراقبة السوق الوطني، فالجهات الحكومية تحتاج إلى من يساندها في مراقبة السوق المحلي، وحماية المواطن من الخدع التسويقية، ومن الوقوع ضحية للتلاعب بشتى أنواعه.
