| description | The advancement of digital technology has refined the way traditional business operates. The
new business model of collaborative consumption is not only novel, but potential customers
are reluctant to participate. Who, then, is actually interested in embracing this new approach?
To provide empirical evidence, this study attempts to examine the effects of the Big Five
personality traits: agreeableness, neuroticism, extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness,
on the propensity to participate in collaborative consumption. Drawing on the Student
Behavior Survey 2019/2020 of 386 university students in Malaysia, we find that personality
is not a strong predictor of collaborative consumption. In short, agreeableness increases the
likelihood of participating in collaborative consumption and openness exhibits a negative
effect; other traits have no effect. |
