“…Research shows that discrimination and ethical issues happen more frequently in sharing platforms due to the virtual presence of networking and opportunities for social interactions between different groups of individuals (e.g. Cui et al , 2020; Verhaeghe et al , 2023). In many cases, platform providers may leverage big data advantages for their own benefits but harm users’ welfare, by conducting unauthorized data collection, for example, or detecting users’ other activities and social connections through their electronic payment system (Basukie et al , 2020).…”

“…In addition, although previous studies have identified tax-induced inequality (Cui and Davis, 2022), racial economic disparities (Zhang et al , 2021) and ethnic discrimination (Verhaeghe et al , 2023), there is a lack of research on the impact of sharing economy development on global income inequality. Future studies can also explore the gender pay gap in various types of sharing economy platforms and conduct an empirical analysis to examine income inequality based on gender.…”

Purpose Despite a growing body of research focusing on the dark side of sharing economy development, arguments are fragmented and incomplete. This study aims to address the gap by integrating existing viewpoints based on a provider’s perspective. Design/methodology/approach This study conducted a bibliometric analysis using text mining and clustering algorithm techniques to measure the scope of scientific output on this topic and identify the main research themes. Findings Through the bibliometric analysis, this study developed an integrative framework based on the platform providers’ internal management issues and external conflicts with consumers, society, government regulations and traditional business. It also identified significant gaps within each research theme and proposed a future research agenda. Originality/value Sharing economy development has not yet been fully understood and regulated, leading to unprecedented challenges to existing business systems. The study addresses knowledge gaps and advances the understanding of the dark side of the sharing economy based on the provider’s internal management and interplay with external forces. It offers a roadmap for future research to advance understanding of the “hidden” dark side of the sharing economy.

“…It can unfurl itself towards a path of sustainability or into an obnoxious version of neoliberalism (Martin, 2016). Contemporary sharing practices have already started showing some deviant indications, including discrimination and exploitation (Baranowski, 2021; Etter et al, 2019; Verhaeghe et al, 2023). For example, the SE can be seen as a manifestation of an intensified neoliberal trend utilizing the notion of entrepreneurship to legitimise specific practices regarding employment while taking advantage of regulatory lapses (Ahsan, 2020; Köbis et al, 2021).…”

The preference structure of consumers remains a perplexing issue for sharing platforms. This study aims to broaden the understanding of shared consumption (SC) adoption. It employed the theory of interpersonal behaviour (TIB) and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to propose a conceptual model integrating cognitive, affective and normative beliefs to explain sharing intention. A cross‐sectional survey was conducted using a self‐administered questionnaire to gather responses. Using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM), the assessment of 298 valid responses revealed that economic incentives, normative beliefs, environmental concerns and perceived moral norms are significant predictors of sharing intention. The results of this study offer insights into the fact that consumers are cognizant of the sustainability concern and are ready to amend their consumption patterns driven by moral norms. Additionally, non‐cognitive factors like freedom from ownership hassles and availability uncertainty influence sharing intention. The study's theoretical contributions include extending the application of TIB to shared consumption behaviour and integrating non‐cognitive factors with TPB factors to understand shared consumption intention better. Accordingly, the study offers guidance to marketers for promoting shared consumption.
