“…The monetization of excess inventory is one of the economic drivers behind the sharing economy as per the Owyang, J., Tran, C., & Silva (2013) market report. Monetization or making financial profit from personal property, such as homes, cars, bicycles, driveways, skills, or other idle or underutilized assets is the basis of the sharing economy (Lampinen et al, 2015). Evidence from a qualitative study with Airbnb hosts indicates that monetization of unused space helps hosts select guests according to their preferences and control the volume and type of demand (Ikkala and Lampinen, 2015).…”

“…Individuals participating in the sharing economy improve their financial situation, either by saving or earning extra money . They can also monetize idle resources using valuable personal items as a source of additional income (Lampinen et al, 2015); they avoid initial purchase costs and maintenance costs, or obtain access to products otherwise not affordable. Therefore, individuals using SE services feel less dependent on companies and consequently more skilled.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine use and sharing economy (SE) continuance intention, and the mediation effects of use between individuals' motivations and SE continuance intention. A theoretical model is developed to explain use and SE continuance intention as intrinsic and extrinsic motivated behaviour, as proposed by self-determination theory. Factors are derived from SE context and supported by published research on SE.Design/methodology/approachThe partial least squares path modelling (PLS-PM) technique is used to test the model in a quantitative study involving 256 users of SE services.FindingsFindings suggest that use and SE continuance can be explained by concurrent intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. Moreover, high environmental concerns may restrain the use of SE services. Findings show that continuance intention is influenced by current use of SE services. Moreover, the study emphasizes the mediation effect of use between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and SE continuance intention.Research limitations/implicationsThe analysis of use behaviour should be complemented with other measures of use and with data provided by qualitative methods of research. Further research should also consider the effect of different control variables and mediation effects.Practical implicationsBrand managers and companies providing services through digital platforms should address individuals' needs in order to stimulate voluntary engagement in persistent SE practices.Social implicationsThis study informs the consumer in general so that the SE can develop its potential alongside an economy based on the ownership of private property.Originality/valueThis study extends findings on continuance intention research by offering internal motivation factors as predictors of post-adoption behaviour and emphasizes the role of use on SE continuance intention.

“…One modern theory based on the same ideas to explain the motivation to use media and services is the uses and gratification (U&G) theory (Dholakia et al, 2002). U&G theory addresses why people use media products and what gratification they receive or expect to receive from this use (Lampinen et al, 2015). Dholakia et al (2002) presented five categories of U&G in SNS use: (1) purposive value that can involve instrumental gratification, such as receiving information; (2) self-discovery, which includes gaining knowledge of self and social resources; (3) maintaining interpersonal connectivity, which includes keeping in touch with contacts and maintaining friendships; (4) social enhancement, which includes status and recognition; and (5) entertainment, which includes fun and relaxation.…”

An online survey of 200 participants was conducted on the experiences of sharing material and immaterial artifacts, focusing on interaction with non-media content types. The survey included six categories of sharing: music preferences, travel plans, sports activities, apartments and vehicles, virtual items in online games, and dietary preferences. The study identified factors that motivate participation in content-mediated interaction: discovery, curating self, connectedness, collaboration, enjoyment, and instrumental motivations, as a set of six motivating factors driving contemporary sharing practices. The authors consolidated findings from earlier work on motivations to share personal content, validating the set of motivating factors with the six selected non-media types of content. The results suggest that both extrinsic and intrinsic motivations affect content sharing practices. Furthermore, motivating factors were mapped to the reported positive and negative experiences, in order to understand their relation and to discuss their capacity to guide user experience design.

“…This is because participants transact over spare resources (generation and consumption capacity), and can choose to donate, sell, or exchange it. The sharing economy includes commercial markets such as Airbnb and Uber, as well as non-profit initiatives like Couchsurfing and timebanks [8,22,28,34]. Similar to Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb, P2P energy platforms match suppliers with customers who seek to rent access to the product for a limited period.…”

Peer-to-peer energy-trading platforms (P2P) have the potential to transform the current energy system. However, research is presently scarce on how people would like to participate in, and what would they expect to gain from, such platforms. We address this gap by exploring these questions in the context of the UK energy market. Using a qualitative interview study, we examine how 45 people with an interest in renewable energy understand P2P. We find that the prospective users value the collective benefits of P2P, and understand participation as a mechanism to support social, ecological and economic benefits for communities and larger groups. Drawing on the findings from the interview analysis, we explore broad design characteristics that a prospective P2P energy trading platform should provide to meet the expectations and concerns voiced by our study participants.
