Summary/Abstract: An aim of the carried out survey was to examine the impact of the perceived functional and financial risk connected with purchase of private labels as well as the relative level of private labels and perceived benefits connected with private labels on the intent to buy private labels among Polish consumers. The authors applied the method of interviews carried out via the Internet (CAWI) while the analyses were carried out with the use of structural modelling (SEM, structural equation modelling) with the help of the Mplus software. They ascertained that the intent to buy private labels directly depended on the perceived by consumers functional and financial risk connected with own brands. There is also a direct impact of prices and the perceived benefits connected with private labels on the intent to buy them. The obtained results may be used in the practice of managers of private labels of commercial chains as well as they enrich the business literature on the issue of private labels management.
