Cocreation Experience in Peer-to-Peer Accommodations: Conceptualization and Scale Development

Most value cocreation measurement scales have focused on physical cocreation behavior rather than the cocreation experience. This study aims to conceptualize the construct of cocreation experience and develop a corresponding measurement scale in peer-to-peer accommodations using a sequential mixed-methods approach. The multistage scale development procedure generated a measurement containing six reflective dimensions: authenticity, autonomy, control, learning, personalization, and connection. This study contributes to the literature by conceptualizing and operationalizing the construct of the cocreation experience in peer-to-peer accommodations. Findings provide insight into customers’ shared experiences and enable tourism and hospitality practitioners to improve the customer experience.
