The effect of the perceived risk on the adoption of the sharing economy in the tourism industry: The case of Airbnb

作者:

Highlights:

• The extended model of goal-directed behavior effectively describes the adoption decision process of potential Airbnb customers.

• The financial risk and privacy risk negatively affect the intention to use Airbnb as expected.

• The physical risk and performance risk positively affect the intention to use Airbnb unlike the concerns in the press, and this is consistent with “risk paradox” from previous studies.

• The disruptive nature of Airbnb is the main cause of risk paradox because potential customers expect the disruptive value like local communities and exotic experience through the sharing economy.
