Abstract

The rapid development of sharing economy (e.g., sharing accommodation) has become an essential driver of economic resilience. However, the COVID-19 outbreak hugely impacts sharing accommodation platforms and their hosts. How to actively cope with COVID-19 and develop resilience has become a complex problem in the industry. There is a lack of research on the formation mechanism of sharing accommodation hosts’ resilience in the academic community. Based on the coping theory, this paper conducts a case study on the hosts of sharing accommodation platforms to explore the influencing factors and mechanisms of resilience. The results find the context-specific factors of threat appraisal, ability appraisal, problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, platform governance, and their relationship with resilience. This paper has important practical significance for guiding sharing accommodation platform enterprises and hosts to overcome difficulties.
