摘要:

网络点评是影响民宿顾客住宿意愿的重要因素。本研究以信任理论为基础,从顾客需求视角探讨民宿顾客对网络平台的信任和对民宿主人的信任在网络点评和民宿顾客住宿意愿之间的作用。研究发现:(1)网络点评对民宿顾客住宿意愿的直接影响效应显著;(2)顾客信任的二维度(对网络平台的信任和对民宿主人的信任)在网络点评和民宿顾客住宿意愿之间起串联中介作用,但是顾客信任的两个维度不能单独在网络点评和民宿顾客住宿意愿之间起中介作用。本研究揭示了网络点评对民宿顾客住宿意愿的作用路径,为民宿营销提供了新视角。

Abstract:

An online review is an important factor that affects the accommodation intention of homestay customers. This is as homestay customers choosing homestay always refer to the online reviews. Trust theory is an important factor for studying the influence of online reviews on consumer behavior. Based on the trust theory, this study discusses the effect of the trust of the customers on network platforms and the homestay hosts based on online reviews and the customers’ accommodation intention from the perspective of customers’ accommodation intention. Through this, a model of the influence of online reviews on the customers’ accommodation intention is then constructed. A total of 245 valid questionnaires were collected in this study. Through structural equation analysis of the data collected by this study, there were two findings. The first finding is that the direct effect of online reviews on the accommodation intention of homestay customers is significant. The second finding is that two dimensions of customer trust (trust in the network platform and trust in the homestay host) play a complementary mediating role between the online reviews and the accommodation intention of homestay customers, but two dimensions of customer trust (trust in the network platform and trust in the homestay host) cannot play an intermediary role between the online reviews and homestay customers’ accommodation intention. This is related to the product characteristics of homestay in China, the difficulty of supervision, and the management of the homestay platform. The theoretical contribution of this study is thus to expand and deepen the current theoretical research on trust, based on previous general research on the relationship between the online review and behavioral intention, to further study the effect of the trust on network platforms and homestay hosts on the relationship between online review and customer accommodation intentions. The practical contribution would thus be to put forth countermeasures and suggestions to improve the accommodation intention of homestay customers from the three aspects that are derived from the homestay customers, homestay owners, and homestay platform.
