Subject: Sharing economy

Abstract (EN): The last decade has seen the emergence of the collaborative economy (CE) worldwide. Collaborative economy refers to a hybrid market model of a peer-to-peer sharing of access to underutilized goods and services at a lower cost and enabling its owners to make an extra income. However, CE social and economic effects on populations, communities, and individuals remain understudied, especially well-being impacts. Research has found that these services can have both positive and negative consequences, either intentional or unintended, on the well-being of the different actors in the service ecosystem. Well-being is multi-faceted, complex and interactive, and traditionally encompasses two types: hedonic and eudaimonic. The first describes emotions, while the second relates to the realization of potential. To address the challenge of uplifting well-being in collaborative economy models, this research aims to better understand well-being in these services by obtaining a deeper comprehension of the different types of well-being, its outcomes, and motivations to participate in the various actors in the service ecosystem.
