The purpose of this article is to evaluate the main drivers of the sharing economy through an exhaustive
weighting and meta-analysis of previous relevant quantitative research articles, obtained using a systematic literature review methodology. The authors analysed 22 quantitative studies from 2008 through.
Out of the 249 extracted relationships (independent e dependent variable), the paper identifies the
“best” predictors used in theoretical models to study the sharing economy. These include: attitude on
intention to share, perceived behavioural control on intention to share, subjective norm on intention to
share, economic benefit on attitude, and perceived risk on attitude. Geographically, Germany and the
United States of America were found to be the nations with the highest number of respondents.
Temporally, an increasing trend in the number of articles on the sharing economy and respondents was
observed. The consolidation of the drivers of the sharing economy provides a solid theoretical foundation
for the research community to explore existing hypotheses further and test new hypotheses in emerging
contexts of the sharing economy. Given the different conceptual theories that have been used to study
the sharing economy and their application to different contexts, this study presents the first attempt at
advancing knowledge by quantitatively synthesizing findings presented in previous literature. [-]
