Bike-sharing service has become a popular sustainable means of transportation due to its direct impact on traffic congestion, energy consumption, the environment, and people's quality of life. Existing literature suggests that sustainable consumption can be promoted by engaging consumers with green products. This study examined drivers and the outcome of consumer engagement with bike-sharing services based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). A survey was conducted to collect the data from the users of the bike-sharing service in Kuala Lumpur. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data and find the relationship between variables. The empirical analyses showed that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the bike-sharing service positively impact all facets of consumer engagement with bike-sharing service, which subsequently influences the continuance usage intention of bike-sharing service. The findings of this study offer useful insights that could enhance the consumption of bike-sharing service. This study also offers some guidelines to transportation practitioners, policymakers, and urban planners regarding promoting healthy and sustainable travel behaviour among urban commuters through bike-sharing service.
共享单车服务已成为一种受欢迎的可持续交通方式,因为它对交通拥堵、能源消耗、环境以及人们的生活质量有着直接影响。现有文献表明,通过让消费者使用绿色产品可以促进可持续消费。本研究基于技术接受模型(TAM),考察了共享单车服务消费者参与度的驱动因素及其结果。通过一项调查收集了吉隆坡共享单车服务用户的数据。采用结构方程模型对数据进行分析,以找出变量之间的关系。实证分析表明,共享单车服务的感知易用性和感知有用性对消费者参与共享单车服务的各个方面都有积极影响,进而影响共享单车服务的持续使用意愿。本研究的结果提供了有益的见解,可促进共享单车服务的消费。本研究还为交通从业者、政策制定者和城市规划者提供了一些指导方针,以通过共享单车服务促进城市通勤者的健康和可持续出行行为。
