Antecedents and consequences of co-creation value with a resolution of complex P2P relationships

Abstract

Purpose This study aims to address the following three questions: What are the main factors influencing co-creation behaviour among peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform? What are the key consequences of such behaviour? and What are the main factors that positively influence a sense of commitment among peers in a P2P platform? Design/methodology/approach This study used a positivist paradigm to scrutinise the causal associations between the scale validation and causal configurations of influential factors by using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. Findings Findings indicate that the significance of co-creation behaviour in enhancing the sense of commitment in a P2P platform. The implications for hospitality managers and researchers are discussed. Practical implications The findings of this research provide interesting insights for peer providers in a peer platform on how to enhance co-creation. They also offer guidelines on how to build a positive sense of commitment in the peer platform. Originality/value By investigating co-creation behaviour at the peer level, this research offers a unique theoretical contribution. Drawing on complexity theory, the research also proposes two tenets supporting the managerial contribution by identifying and clarifying how co-creation behaviour and related constructs can lead to a sense of commitment between peers in a P2P platform.

Consumer Perceptions of Sustainable Development Goals: Conceptualization, Measurement and Contingent Effects

“…A firm engaging in sustainable behaviour can positively influence customer behaviour, and consumers engaging in sustainable actions can have more positive customer experience evaluations (Foroudi, 2019(Foroudi, , 2020Foroudi, Marvi, and Colmekcioglu, 2022;Rezvani, Jansson, and Bengtsson, 2017;Sun and Trudel, 2017). For example, Steg (2005) shows that positive emotional experiences can negatively affect petrol-powered car drivers' sustainable consumption behaviour.…”

Customer value co-creation in the hospitality and tourism industry: a systematic literature review

“…The co-creation of value approach and its conceptual contributions have also received particular attention in the tourism sector, since 2009, by researchers such as Hollebeek and Brodie (2009), Binkhorst and Dekker (2009) and Fyrberg and Juriado (2009). Studies on the co-creation of customer value in tourism organizations have also been highlighted by the scientific community, for using different theoretical approaches, namely, S-D Llogic (Grissemann and Stockburger-Sauer, 2012; Liang, 2017), co-creation experience theory (Chen, 2018), customer-dominant logic (Rihova et al , 2018), social exchange theory (Hsiao et al , 2015a), complexity theory (Foroudi et al , 2022) and others (Peng et al , 2021; Zhang et al , 2022).…”

Inspiring guests’ imagination of “home away from home” to choose Airbnb through brand storytelling

“…In this sense, this research responds to the call of Jackson (2000) to analyse the process of culture, commercialization and social differentiation from the perspective of material culture, extending the geographical elasticity of the “consumer home”. Compared with a monotonous hotel, depictions of the unique functional zoning and decorative elements of Airbnb accommodations allow consumers to go “behind the scenes” to understand the lifestyle and consumption concepts of their hosts (Foroudi et al , 2022). This aspect is undoubtedly attractive to consumers who share similar cultural values, desire such a lifestyle and are prepared to pay for this experience (So et al , 2022; Yan et al , 2021).…”
