“…Fourth, consumers with high OSL are more likely to perceive advantages of P2P accommodation. This finding is consistent with those reported in previous studies, which found that users with high OSL tend to perceive additional value from the adoption of new social networking sites (Gu et al , 2016). In addition, consumers with high OSL are more likely to perceive satiation of hotels, which is in line with prior studies.…”

“…In information systems, Mahatanankoon (2007) showed the role of OSL in determining text messaging use and mobile commerce intention. Gu et al (2016) synthesized OSLT, uses and gratifications theory and literature on choice complementarity to investigate users’ intention to multi-home on social networking sites. Lin et al (2014) found that OSL positively influences top managers’ innovative information technology championing behavior.…”

Purpose Peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has become increasingly popular in recent years, and hotels are facing unprecedented impacts. Attracting new consumers and retaining existing ones are critical to the success of P2P accommodation and hotels. The purpose of this paper is to examine three categories of antecedents for hotels consumers’ switching intention: push (i.e. satiation), pull (i.e. perceived value) and mooring (i.e. optimal stimulation level) factors using push–pull–mooring (PPM) model. Design/methodology/approach Airbnb was chosen as the research context. An online survey was conducted to examine the proposed research model and hypotheses. A total of 292 valid data were collected from Airbnb users through a survey. Findings The findings show that the three categories of factors have positive and significant effects on switching intention. Additionally, the mooring factor has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between pull factors and switching intention. Furthermore, the mooring factor affects both pull and push factors. Originality/value First, this is one of the early studies to pay attention to switching intention from hotels to P2P accommodation. Second, to provide a comprehensive understanding of consumers’ switching intention, the authors use PPM model to establish the research framework. This research improves the understanding of consumer’s switching intention by identifying the push and pull factors based on the differences between hotels and P2P accommodation in accordance with optimal stimulation level theory and consumer value theory.

“…In contrast, people with low levels of OSL prefer and feel comfortable with low levels of activation (Raju, 1980;Richard and Chebat, 2016). This notion has been confirmed by empirical research, which has found that individuals with higher levels of OSL are more likely to become involved in novel, complex, intense or recreational activities than those individuals with low levels of OSL (Chang, 2017;Cho and Workman, 2014;Gu et al, 2016Gu et al, , 2018.…”

Purpose -Mobile Facebook (m-Facebook) creates many business opportunities for brands and firms while increasingly drawing interest in scientific literature. However, research is scarce on the immersive experiences prompted by m-Facebook, and how these experiences facilitate users' engagement, their positive attitude towards Facebook and their continued use of it. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach -This paper theoretically and empirically analyses m-Facebook users' immersive experiences, along with their affective and behavioural effects. Findings -The results reveal the important role of imagery, presence and flow in the context of m-Facebook; the interplay between these three immersive phenomena; and the influence the user's optimum stimulation level has on them. Originality/value -The investigation offers a foundation for understanding users' immersive experiences on m-Facebook, and informs practitioners who aim to enhance users' engagement with, attitude towards, and continued use of m-Facebook content.

“…The relationship between low-level of uncertainty and preferred SNSs usage has been proposed and tested in various forms of SNSs research [4] [5], [55], [26]. In addition, Burhanna, Seeholzer and Salem [10] found that interactive strategies have a significant effect on low level of uncertainty which also resulted to user's social attractiveness in term of SNSs use.…”
