Abstract:

【Purpose/significance】 The vicious incidents caused by drivers' behaviors in ride-hailing lead to a crisis of trust in drivers.

As important resources to restrain drivers' behaviors and build interpersonal trust, platform mechanisms such as driver screening and

police-cooperation can provide institutional guarantee for users and strengthen their continuous use intention.【Method/process】

Based on trust transfer theory and signal theory, in the perspective of information ecology, this paper establishes structure equation

model (SEM) of trust in the platform, trust in the community drivers and continuous use intention under the moderation of platform

mechanisms, and empirically tests trust transfer process and boundary condition.【Result/conclusion】The results show that trust in the

platform positively influences trust in the community of drivers, trust in the community of drivers positively affects continuous use in⁃

tention, and in the condition of platform information environment, police-cooperation mechanism negatively moderates the trust trans⁃

fer from platform to the community of drivers while escrow mechanisms positively moderates.【Innovation/limitation】The findings indi⁃

cate that the development of interpersonal trust rely on institution-based trust, and the trust transfer process is affected by the environ⁃

ment of platform mechanisms. This paper enriches the adoption of trust transfer theory and signal theory in sharing economy, and pro⁃

vides management advice to the healthy development of ride-hailing industries.
