Abstract

Peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing services experience failures, caused by customers or peer service providers (PSPs). When failures recur, PSPs’ response to the first failure shapes subsequent customer reactions. This study examines scenarios where the initial failure is caused by the customer, and the subsequent failure is attributed to the PSP. How the PSP’s empathetic responses to the initial failure influences customer reactions during the subsequent failures was examined. Results show that PSP’s empathic communication during the first failure reduces customers’ negative emotions and may or may not foster a more lenient attitude toward the second failure, depending on the response type. Specifically, empathy positively impacts satisfaction and intent for positive review score but not for sharing negative reviews.

点对点共享服务中连续服务故障的应对策略:移情交流的力量
点对点(P2P)共享服务会出现由客户或点对点服务提供商(PSP)造成的故障。当故障再次发生时,PSP 对第一次故障的反应会影响客户随后的反应。本研究探讨了初始故障由客户造成,而后续故障归咎于 PSP 的情况。研究了 PSP 对首次故障的同理心反应如何影响客户对后续故障的反应。结果表明,PSP 在第一次故障中的移情沟通会减少客户的负面情绪,并可能促进或不促进客户对第二次故障采取更宽松的态度,这取决于回应类型。具体而言,移情对正面评论得分的满意度和意向有积极影响,但对负面评论的分享没有影响。
