Abstract

We investigate consumer perspectives on complex, multistage systems designed to provide personalized health recommendations. We conceptualize the underlying benefit trade-offs that consumers make in evaluating such systems as the manifestation of a psychological contract in which consumers contribute their personal information and effort in exchange for a more useful, tailored recommendation by the firm. We show that consumer benefit perceptions are differentially affected by the stages of such a system, and that the channel context in which the use of a personalized health recommendation system originates moderates the impact of consumer benefit perceptions on consumer willingness to use such systems.
