Carpooling is a sustainable, economical, and environmental friendly solution that can significantly reduce air pollution and traffic congestion in urban areas. In spite of its numerous benefits, commuters are still skeptic about adopting it as a routine choice for transportation. This study attempts to map commuters’ attitude towards carpooling services. The study has focused on a few motivational constructs that can have an influence on commuters’ behavior. The study has looked at the role of cognitive complexity and empowerment perceptions of commuters to check if these constructs significantly intervene in the behavioral outcomes. The methodology used is a scenario-based 2 × 2 survey design where the sample is an individual who has experience with carpooling. The survey has used two levels (high, low) each of cognitive complexity and psychological empowerment to give rise to four scenarios. The final sample consisted of 400 carpoolers selected from an IT park having more than 5000 employees. MANOVA analysis showed that cognitive complexity and psychological empowerment had significant influence on the motivational constructs used in the study. Value beliefs, safety and platform quality perceptions were found to have a direct impact on attitude formation and intention to engage in carpooling behavior. The findings offer many implications for managers in the sense that that they can focus on creating suitable communication that creates favorable perceptions towards carpooling to bring about better adoption intentions.

对拼车行为可持续性的实证研究

拼车是一种可持续,经济和环保的解决方案,可以显着减少城市地区的空气污染和交通拥堵。尽管有很多好处,但通勤者仍然对将其作为日常运输选择持怀疑态度。这项研究试图勾勒出通勤者对拼车服务的态度。该研究集中在一些可能对通勤者的行为产生影响的动机构造上。这项研究研究了通勤者的认知复杂性和赋权感的作用,以检查这些结构是否显着干预了行为结果。所使用的方法是基于场景的2×2调查设计,其中样本是具有拼车经验的个人。调查使用了两个级别(高,(低)认知复杂性和赋予心理能力的每一种都会产生四种情况。最终样本包括从一个拥有5000多名员工的IT园区中选出的400个拼车司机。MANOVA分析表明,认知复杂性和心理授权对研究中使用的动机结构有重大影响。发现价值观,安全性和平台质量感知对态度形成和参与拼车行为的意愿有直接影响。从某种意义上说,这些发现为管理人员带来了许多启示,他们可以专注于建立适当的沟通渠道,从而对拼车产生有利的看法,从而实现更好的采用意图。最终样本包括从一个拥有5000多名员工的IT园区中选出的400个拼车司机。MANOVA分析表明,认知复杂性和心理授权对研究中使用的动机结构有重大影响。发现价值观,安全性和平台质量感知对态度形成和参与拼车行为的意愿有直接影响。从某种意义上说,这些发现为管理人员带来了许多启示,他们可以专注于建立适当的沟通方式,从而对拼车产生有利的看法,从而实现更好的采用意图。最终样本包括从一个拥有5000多名员工的IT园区中选出的400个拼车司机。MANOVA分析表明,认知复杂性和心理授权对研究中使用的动机结构有重大影响。发现价值观,安全性和平台质量感知对态度形成和参与拼车行为的意愿有直接影响。从某种意义上说,这些发现为管理人员带来了许多启示,他们可以专注于建立适当的沟通渠道,从而对拼车产生有利的看法,从而实现更好的采用意图。发现安全和平台质量感知对态度形成和参与拼车行为的意愿有直接影响。从某种意义上说,这些发现为管理人员带来了许多启示,他们可以专注于建立适当的沟通渠道,从而对拼车产生有利的看法,从而实现更好的采用意图。发现安全和平台质量感知对态度形成和参与拼车行为的意愿有直接影响。从某种意义上说,这些发现为管理人员带来了许多启示,他们可以专注于建立适当的沟通方式,从而对拼车产生有利的看法,从而实现更好的采用意图。
