N2  - Die vorliegende Arbeit fokussiert auf den fairen Konsum als Teil des ethischen Konsums. Unter fairem Konsum verstehen wir Kaufentscheidungen, die unter Berücksichtigung der Einhaltung fairer Arbeits- und Geschäftsbedingungen bei der Herstellung von Produkten erfolgen. Unter Einsatz einer neu entwickelten Skala zur Messung des fairen Konsumbewusstseins können wir empirisch nachweisen, dass Produkte mit einem Fairtrade-Siegel Konsumenten einen moralischen Zusatznutzen vermitteln können, für den sie bereit sind, einen Mehrpreis zu zahlen.
N2  - The present paper focuses on fair consumption, as a part of ethical consumerism. Fair consumption means purchasing decisions made in the light of compliance with fair labor and business conditions in the manufacturing process. Using a new developed scale for the measurement of the consciousness for fair consumption, we can prove empirically that fair trade products can provide an additional moral value for consumers for which they are willingly to pay an extra charge.

N2  - Sustainable consumption means that consumers act in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. Compared with the vast amount of studies concerning environmentally conscious consumer behaviour, relatively little is known about socially conscious consumption. The present paper focuses on fair consumption as an important aspect of social consumption. In our study, consciousness for fair consumption (CFC) is defined as a latent disposition of consumers to prefer products that are produced and traded in compliance with fair labour and business practices. A scale to measure CFC was conceptualized and tested in three independent empirical studies. Two studies were conducted at European universities (2010 and 2012) and used 352 and 362 undergraduate business students respectively. The third study, conducted in 2011, used 141 employees at a European university. The results confirmed the reliability and validity of the new CFC scale across samples. While being moderately related to other aspects of sustainable consumption such as ecological concern and moral reasoning, CFC was significantly distinct from those concepts. Most importantly, it was established that the CFC, as measured by the new CFC scale, is a strong determinant of consumption of fair trade products that has been neglected in existing research.
