SANTOS-CORRADA, María de los M.; FLECHA, José A.  and  MENA-CANDELARIA, Sandra. Self-congruence effect on a denomination of origin seal: el sello hecho en Puerto Rico. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.152, pp.292-300. ISSN 0123-5923.  https://doi.org/10.18046/j.estger.2019.151.3263.

This quantitative research analyzes the theory of self-concept and social identity and its impact on Puerto Rico's consumer behavior and a designation of origin seal perceptions. With 294 survey participants analyzed with structural equations, results demonstrate how self-concept and social identity generate the self-congruence effect, which has an impact on the perception of national brands and the designation of origin seal. This research contributes significantly to the gap of studies on designation of origin seals and presents new evidence on consumer behavior through the study of self-concept.

Keywords : self-concept; social identity; self-congruence.
