The effect of the Covid-19 on sharing economy activities
Open accessAbstract
Activities within the sharing economy (SE) are in a precarious situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Even though the SE is considered a disruptive phenomenon, especially in the accommodation and transport sectors, the Covid-19 has raised concerns about its survivability. Thousands of people have lost their jobs, the value of SE firms has dropped, and many service providers have no other option but to stop working. Understanding the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the SE sector is therefore essential. The objective of this study is therefore to examine the effect of the Covid-19 on sharing economy activities. We have used various publications-such as news articles, TV news items, YouTube videos, and blog posts-as data sources for this study purpose. Through content analysis, the study shows how the SE phenomenon is coping with the changing environment caused by the Covid-19. We analyzed the SE sector mainly from the perspective of four stakeholders: SE firms, service providers, service receivers (customers), and regulatory bodies. We explored the SE phenomenon based mainly on the following themes: anxiety, cancelation, job loss, income reduction, hygiene and safety, overcoming strategy, and outcomes. Based on the findings, we point out implications and avenues for future research.

Building sustainable human capital is a significant priority for tourism businesses, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Building a sustainable human capital is a significant priority for tourism businesses, particularly in the light of the current pandemic of Covid-19 (Hossain, 2021;Guo et al., 2022).”
From Well-being Human Resource Model In The Collaborative Economy: The Keystone of ESG Strategy In The Tourism Sector (2023) · cites this paper as Hossain, 2021
The Results (Overcoming strategy) discuss how accommodation hosts and sharing-economy firms adapted to COVID-19; the Discussion (Practical implications) calls for protecting stakeholders and balancing service providers’ health and livelihoods. Searches for sustainable human capital and tourism workforce priorities found no passage saying that building sustainable human capital is a significant priority for tourism businesses.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
