Abstract

Alternative transportation services for urban commuters expand with car subscription services. Car subscription services give drivers access to cars without ownership for a relatively longer time period (e.g., months) than other sharing economy transportation services. Based on a mix of between- and within-subject design online experiment involving 274 participants, this study investigates traditional and upcoming subscribed car features namely, mileage limit, price, self- driving capability, advanced safety systems, and the moderating influence of collective psychological ownership of these features on people’s preference for car subscription services. The results suggest that these features significantly impact people’s preference toward this service. Collective psychological ownership was found to moderate the influence of self-driving capability and advance safety systems on people’s preference for car subscription services. Individuals with high collective psychological ownership preferred subscription cars with self-driving capability and were more concerned with the lack of advanced safety systems in a subscription car. Car subscription companies need to consider traditional (price and mileage limit), and upcoming features (self-driving capability and advance safety systems) when offering their services. More importantly, the moderating influence of collective psychological ownership on these features means that car subscription companies should account for people’s psychological disposition when considering additional car features.

Abstract

Given the key role that entrepreneurs play in a country’s economic growth, there is a need to study how entrepreneurs innovate for their firm’s survival. This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of proactive personality on the relationship between core self-evaluations (CSE) and innovative behaviors among micro-entrepreneurs in urban areas. The data were obtained from a survey administered to 307 micro-entrepreneurs in Jakarta, Indonesia and its surrounding cities. Data were tested using Hayes’ PROCESS macro in SPSS. The results showed that CSE was related positively to innovative behavior, and that proactive personality was also related to innovative behavior. Results also showed that proactive personality mediated the relationship between CSE and innovative behavior, whereby CSE led to proactive personality, which in turn influenced innovative behavior. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are further discussed.
