<p>Driven by various benefits, such as authenticity, enjoyment, sustainability, socialization, and uniqueness, peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has become an increasingly important socio-economic phenomenon. To study this emerging hospitality consumption format systematically and to enhance the understanding of consumers’ motivations, perceptions, and behavioral intentions in the P2P accommodation context, three projects were proposed and completed in this dissertation. These focused on the mechanisms underlying consumers’ perceptions and participation in the world of P2P accommodation. Project I provided a comprehensive overview of how diverse motivators can influence consumers’ satisfaction and loyalty toward P2P accommodation services, following the push and pull theoretical framework. By conducting a meta analysis, Project I revealed that improving push motivators (i.e., psychological and intrinsic motivators) is more important than pull motivators (i.e., cognitive and extrinsic motivators) in enhancing consumers’ satisfaction, re-patronage intentions, and the spreading of positive word-of-mouth interactions. Next, by employing the dual-process theory, Project II comprised a series of three studies to investigate how various types of online reviews (i.e., fact-based versus emotion-based; property-focused versus host-focused) can affect consumers’ consumption decisions pertaining to P2P accommodation. The findings revealed that fact-based reviews result in higher booking intentions due to enhanced trust in the P2P property/host. Moreover, it was found that female consumers exhibit higher booking intentions when they read host-focused reviews. Finally, drawing on the norm activation theory, Project III comprised an investigation into how consumers’ altruistic value versus egoistic value orientations impacted their consumption intentions of sustainable P2P accommodation. Furthermore, by employing both survey and experimental design studies, the underlying mechanism explaining the impacts of various consumption value orientations on behavioral intentions was explored, focusing on booking intentions and willingness-to-pay-more for sustainable green P2P accommodation. Bringing these findings together, this dissertation provides theoretical and practical implications from various perspectives with regard to how consumers’ motivators and perceptions lead to their participation in the P2P accommodation world.</p>

Syfte - Denna studie syftar dels till att undersöka sambandet mellan upplevd autonomi på arbetsplatsen och upplevd utbrändhet. Samt att vidare undersöka huruvida upplevd autonomi har en direkt effekt på utbrändhet eller om effekten medieras genom upplevd yrkesmässig självförmåga (OSE) och resiliens.  Metod - Studiens design utgjordes av en kvantitativ tvärsnittsundersökning i form av fysiska strukturerade enkäter administrerade bland 165 operatörer inom en större svensk industriell organisation. Insamlade data analyserades i en seriell mediator-modell med en regressionsbaserad approach.  Resultat – Upplevd autonomi visade ett svagt, men statistiskt signifikant negativt samband med utbrändhet. Resultaten indikerar även att OSE och resiliens medierar effekten av sambandet mellan autonomi och utbrändhet i ett seriellt förhållande där OSE är positivt associerat med resiliens.  Slutsats - Studien bidrar med kunskap om hur upplevd hög autonomi på arbetet relateras tillökad självförmåga samt högre resiliens och därmed minskar risken för utbrändhet. Resultatet bekräftar tidigare forskning där högre autonomi kan bidra genom att arbetaren innehar resurser till att undvika utmattning. Däremot indikeras att individer med hög självförmåga och resiliens hanterar stressfulla situationer effektivt, vilket kan minska risken för att drabbas av utmattningssyndrom. / Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the effect of perceived job autonomy on burnout. That includes to further investigating if perceived job autonomy affects burnout in a direct pattern or if the effect mediates through occupational self-efficacy (OSE) and resilience in a serial relationship. Methodology – A serial multiple mediator model was empirically tested using a regression-based approach. A total of 165 industrial workers at a larger factory in Sweden participated in the study. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire. Findings – Job autonomy showed a weak, but statistically significant negative effect on burnout. The results obtained indicated that both OSE and resilience mediated the association in a serial relationship as OSE was positively associated with resilience. Conclusions – This study further expands possible variables and their functions in explaining the relationship between job autonomy and burnout by testing a serial process mechanism that involved OSE and resilience. As expected, the indirect effects of OSE and resilience showed stronger associations with burnout in comparison to job autonomy. The results provide suggestions to organizations for minimizing the risk of burnout among industrial workers. Further research is needed to provide stronger evidence for suggested relationships, limitations are discussed.
