ABSTRACT The sharing economy has emerged as a transformative model in the digital age. However, existing reviews often focus on isolated aspects and provide limited insights into its complexity. This paper comprehensively 92 studies through dual‐framework approach, employing both Antecedents–Decisions–Outcomes (ADO) Theories–Contexts–Methods (TCM) frameworks. ADO framework reveals key factors influencing user decisions—including adoption, usage, booking, continued use, engagement, participation, purchase, switching—that are shaped by economic, social, technological, trust‐related, environmental, political antecedents. Meanwhile, TCM structures an in‐depth examination of dominant theories (e.g., Technology Acceptance Model, Social Exchange Theory), diverse contexts China, US), methods quantitative qualitative) prevalent literature. Key findings emphasize importance regulatory dynamics market shifts engagement platform sustainability. Practical implications offer actionable guidance for managers to enhance retention align strategies with evolving environments. review also identifies future research directions expand our understanding global trends challenges within economy.

Abstract In the data economy, sovereignty is often conceptualized as providers’ ability to control their shared data. While essential, current literature overlooks how this facet interrelates with other facets and contextual conditions. Drawing from social contract theory insights 31 expert interviews, we propose a conceptual framework encompassing protection, participation, provision facets. The protection establish sharing foundations by emphasizing baseline rights, such ownership . Building on foundation, participation facet, through responsibility divisions , steers Provision comprises security compliance mechanisms thus ensuring that foundational rights are preserved during after sharing. Contextual conditions (data type, organizational size, business setting) determine level of difficulty in realizing For instance, if personal shared, privacy becomes relevant leading challenges between providers subjects, demands, enforcement. Our novel conceptualization paves way for coherent comprehensive development concerning complex, multi-faceted construct.

Опубликована: Апрель 25, 2025

ABSTRACT Access‐based consumption, such as car sharing or ride‐hailing, is often promoted a more sustainable alternative to ownership‐based models, combining both society‐related (e.g., sustainability) and self‐related cost savings) benefits. However, this promise of sustainability can backfire when consumers substitute lower‐emission alternatives—such biking public transportation—with access‐based services, phenomenon we define overconsumption. Across two laboratory experiments ( n = 351; 388) field study 167) in different mobility contexts, demonstrate that communication strategies activating benefits—although effective increasing participation—can unintentionally foster In contrast, benefits alone significantly curbs effect. We identify self‐enhancement the central underlying mechanism driving these effects dual role. While increases participation overconsumption, its impact contingent on consumers’ environmental identity. Specifically, promotes among individuals with higher identity but encourages overconsumption those lower Our findings offer actionable insights for marketers, policymakers, nonprofits by outlining maximize engagement while minimizing harm promotion consumption.
