報告內(nèi)容摘要:
This research program extends the extant research on neutral recommendation agents (RAs) to those that lack recommendation neutrality and are biased toward sponsors. Sponsorship disclosure is enforced by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, but many technologies fail to comply probably because of their concerns on users’ trust in the biased technologies. By applying the theoretical perspectives of psychological contract violation and knowledge-based trust, we intend to reveal when sponsorship disclosure is most effective in enhancing users’ perceived RA integrity. We also investigate the effects of recommendation neutrality and sponsorship disclosure on users’ trust and distrust in RAs. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to collect data. In the talk, I will present two papers that were recently accepted by Management Science and Information Systems Research. The two papers report the main findings from this research program on recommendation neutrality.
