Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the relationships among the dimensions of bus-riding flow experience, relationship quality, and experiential outcome intentions. The data used in this study were acquired from a convenience sample of 535 passengers riding on driverless buses in Hengli Metro Station Bus Terminal of Guangzhou in China. The empirical results display that the dimensions of bus-riding flow experience (goal clarity, curiosity, positive affection, immersion, utility, and sensory challenge) and trust positively influence psychological ownership. Moreover, both trust and psychological ownership positively affect satisfaction. In addition, trust, satisfaction, and psychological ownership positively influence commitment, which in turn leads to the dimensions of experiential outcome intentions (experiential loyalty intention, experiential word-of-mouth intention, experiential riding intention, and willingness to ride on driverless buses). Finally, theoretical and practical implications based on study findings were outlined and recommendations for future research were made.
期刊介绍:
Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
