Less Choosing, More Doing! Desire For Choice Is Eliminated By Procedural Control in the Consumption Process
Abundant literature reports a preference for large over small assortments. This paper reveals that this preference for more choice is driven by a desire for control, and as a result, granting consumers procedural control (through co-production) eliminates the lure of large assortments. This interactive effect is mediated by perceived control.
