Abstract

Few studies have investigated the factors that negatively affect online engagement and knowledge sharing or examined the perceptions and behavioral intentions of lodging providers regarding online travel agencies. This study explored the benefits and costs of the online engagement and market knowledge sharing of lodging providers in terms of transaction cost economics, social interaction, and social capital. In total, 260 questionnaires were collected from lodging providers and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Transaction costs had both positive and negative effects; social interaction had nonsignificant effects; and social capital had positive effects. Online engagement is an intermediary between specific antecedents and market knowledge sharing for lodging providers. This study is the first to reveal the effects of integrating transaction cost attributes with societal factors on the engagement and sharing of market knowledge linkages in online travel agencies from the perspective of business clients.
