“…In the peer-to-peer accomodation sector, ample evidence suggests trust (signals) and successful transactions propel users to reuse shared accomodation (Alrawadieh & Alrawadieh, 2018; Bae & Koo, 2018; Birinci, Berezina, & Cobanoglu, 2018; Fagerstrøm, Pawar, Sigurdsson, Foxall, & Yani-de-Soriano, 2017; Lutz, Hoffmann, Bucher, & Fieseler, 2018; Malazizi, Alipour, & Olya, 2018; Muñoz-Leiva, Mayo-Muñoz, & De la Hoz-Correa, 2018; Tussyadiah & Pesonen, 2018; C.

The sharing economy is estimated to add hundreds of billions of dollars to the global economy and is rapidly growing. However, trust-based commercial sharing—the participation in for-profit peer-to-peer sharing-economy activity—has negative as well as positive consequences for both the interacting parties and uninvolved third parties. To share responsibly, one needs to be aware of the various consequences of sharing. We provide a comprehensive, preregistered, systematic literature review of the consequences of trust-based commercial sharing, identifying 93 empirical papers spanning regions, sectors, and scientific disciplines. Via in-depth coding of the empirical work, we provide an authoritative overview of the economic, social, and psychological consequences of trust-based commercial sharing for involved parties, including service providers, users, and third parties. Based on the aggregate insights, we identify the common denominators for the positive and negative consequences. Whereas a well-functioning infrastructure of payment, insurance, and communication enables the positive consequences, ambiguity about rules, roles, and regulations causes non-negligible negative consequences. To overcome these negative consequences and promote more responsible forms of sharing, we propose the transparency-based sharing framework. Based on the framework, we outline an agenda for future research and discuss emerging managerial implications that arise when trying to increase transparency without jeopardizing the potential of trust-based commercial sharing.

“…Multiple studies in the peer-to-peer accommodation sector suggest showing trust by staying at a private person’s place instead of a hotel room increases guests’ satisfaction levels (Alrawadieh & Alrawadieh, 2018; Birinci et al, 2018; S. Lee & Kim, 2018; Priporas et al, 2017; see also Y.…”

“…This shows that lower costs, higher value, accommodation sharing system accessibility and wealth of information, and social relationships and community building mixed with accommodation sharing can help consumers act consciously and reduce the amount of environmental harm associated with the production and consumption of new goods and services. According to Sung et al and Bellotti et al [34], providers also consider sustainability together with societal and economic implications as active drivers of accommodation sharing adoption. The World Bank and European Commission presented similar findings in their reports concerning the environmental benefits of accommodation sharing [142,143].…”

“…The sharing economy refers to various types of assets to be shared while accommodation sharing refers only to the spaces (rooms, flats, houses, etc.) [11,34]. For this study, we define accommodation sharing as an economic model based on sharing underutilized spaces and making them accessible online to a community, for a fee or for free, without a transfer of ownership, leading to usage optimization.…”

Analysing Drivers and Barriers of Accommodation Sharing in Dubai Using the Grey-DEMATEL Approach

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The continuous growth of the sharing economy has the potential to transform the competition in the accommodation sector. At present, research on accommodation sharing is scarce. This paper identifies drivers and barriers to accommodation sharing in Dubai. Taking into account different viewpoints of accommodation sharing professionals in Dubai and the grey-based Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method, this study singles out the essential drivers and barriers and examines the cause and effect connections between them. The process starts with a review of the existing accommodation sharing literature and the feedback from the industry experts to identify the drivers and barriers. Then, the elaboration of the questionnaire, data collection from five experts, data analysis with grey-based DEMATEL, and the sensitivity analysis follow. The lower costs, higher value, ease of use, wealth of available information, and contributions to the development of the local economy and residents are the most influential drivers of accommodation sharing in Dubai. The difficulties related to learning and using new technology along with insufficient or underdeveloped accommodation sharing legislation are the most critical barriers. The paper ends with implications for the stakeholders, limitations, and future directions for research on accommodation sharing.

“…Individual and social factors drive people's engagement with SE. Amongst individual factors, major appeals include income expectation ( Alrawadieh and Alrawadieh, 2018 ), cost savings expectation ( Hawlitschek et al, 2018b ;Milanova and Maas, 2017 ;Pappas, 2017 ;Tussyadiah, 2016 ;Tussyadiah and Pesonen, 2018 ;Wu et al, 2017 ), access to authentic or unique experiences ( Guttentag et al, 2018 ;Mao and Lyu, 2017 ;Morrison et al, 2017 ), and enjoyment expectation ( Hwang and Griffiths, 2017 ;Kam et al, 2018 ;Tussyadiah, 2016 ).…”

It is crucial to classify SE initiatives to better understand such a multifaceted phenomenon. However, previous attempts to classify SE initiatives seem not to contemplate the full SE complexity. Therefore, this study proposes a new classification using a broad taxonomic approach. It started by systematically selecting a set of initiatives. Then, an intensive search on secondary data about the initiatives selected was conducted in order to identify relevant attributes. Next, the attributes identified were successively aggregated resulting in four attribute groups. In the end, each initiative was analysed from the perspective of each attribute group, resulting in five SE categories: commodity intermediary, wealth redistributor, unique-service intermediary, skill redistributor, and decentralized commodity intermediary. Findings suggest that generalizations from studies focused on specific initiatives might be problematic, entrepreneurs should consider the characteristics of different SE categories to design appropriate platforms, and policymakers should avoid regulating all SE initiatives in a homogeneous manner.
