Abstract

Shared services using digital platforms have increasingly gained prominence in recent times. Existing studies have studied several facets of ride-sharing services, but mobile app technology’s impact on user’s experience has not been explored meticulously. We attempt to study the technological artifacts which can signal about the capability of the service and thereby, reducing the informational asymmetry, stemming from lack of information and in-person communication. To address that, we adopt the Signaling Theory and Value Framework to understand the apps’ features, reflecting the shared mobility service quality to the users. We mine 212,000 and 150,000 user reviews on India’s two most extensively used shared mobility services- OLA and UBER, respectively and identify the factors affecting user experiences. We provide a novel framework by mapping these factors to theoretical lexicons. Multiple regression models show that time resources, monetary resources, perceived information protection, app usage controllability, perceived safety in e-payment mechanism, informational trust-related advantage, and participation in decision making influence the user experience of both the services significantly.

是什么影响了共享交通服务的用户体验?整合信号理论和价值框架的启示
近来,使用数字平台的共享服务日益受到重视。现有研究已对共享乘车服务的多个方面进行了研究,但移动应用技术对用户体验的影响尚未得到细致探讨。我们试图研究能够发出服务能力信号的技术人工制品,从而减少因缺乏信息和面对面交流而造成的信息不对称。为此,我们采用信号理论和价值框架来理解应用程序的功能,向用户反映共享移动服务的质量。我们分别对印度使用最广泛的两种共享出行服务--OLA 和 UBER--的 212,000 条和 150,000 条用户评论进行了挖掘,并找出了影响用户体验的因素。我们将这些因素映射到理论词典中,从而提供了一个新颖的框架。多元回归模型显示,时间资源、货币资源、感知到的信息保护、应用程序使用的可控性、感知到的电子支付机制的安全性、信息信任相关优势以及决策参与度对这两种服务的用户体验都有显著影响。

期刊介绍: The interdisciplinary interfaces of Information Systems (IS) are fast emerging as defining areas of research and development in IS. These developments are largely due to the transformation of Information Technology (IT) towards networked worlds and its effects on global communications and economies. While these developments are shaping the way information is used in all forms of human enterprise, they are also setting the tone and pace of information systems of the future. The major advances in IT such as client/server systems, the Internet and the desktop/multimedia computing revolution, for example, have led to numerous important vistas of research and development with considerable practical impact and academic significance. While the industry seeks to develop high performance IS/IT solutions to a variety of contemporary information support needs, academia looks to extend the reach of IS technology into new application domains. Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) aims to provide a common forum of dissemination of frontline industrial developments of substantial academic value and pioneering academic research of significant practical impact.
