| Title | Modeling Trust in Consumer-to-Consumer Sharing Platforms |
| Summary | Led by pioneers such as Uber and Airbnb, sharing economy platforms (SEP) have disrupted several industries and redefined the boundaries of multiple businesses in the last decade. Despite the growing interest in studying the sharing economy adoption, quantitative research dedicated to determining the motives of sharing economy usage remain scarce. Trust is a multifaceted concept that has been widely recognized as one of the most determinant factors in the success of SEP. So far, however, there has been little quantitative analysis of trust in SEP. Also, most studies have examined only limited aspects of trust in SEP, focusing mainly on the consumer perspective. This dissertation seeks to investigate the role and importance of trust relative to other factors in the use of understudied consumer-to-consumer sharing platforms (C2CSP). The thesis also aims to confront different types and dimensions of trust in C2CSP and unveil its effects on usage from both supply and demand sides. |
