Abstract

Due to the particularities of this business model and its recentness in emerging countries, the main purpose of this study is to analyse the antecedents that impact the consumers' intention to use co-working spaces and their use behaviour among Brazilians who use shared workspaces. Considering this, we have adapted the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) model by adding the motivational factors concerning the use of co-working space to increase the explanatory capacity of the model and find evidence on how to increase the attractiveness and effectiveness of this business. For this purpose, a survey with 259 users was conducted. Data analysis was performed with the Smart-PLS software, used for structural equations modelling (SEM). The main findings of this research indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, habit, independence, work environment, and networking have a significant impact on the intention to use co-working spaces and the consumers' use behaviour.
