Based on empowerment and value co-creation (VCC) theories, this study innovatively classifies VCC into four dimensions and explores how PDE influences platform trust (PT) through VCC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To examine our proposed research model, 400 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed from sellers on CBEC platforms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The empirical results reveal the mechanism by which PDE strengthens PT through VCC. Specifically, PDE significantly facilitates VCC activities between the platform and sellers and enhances the level of seller trust in the platform. The interdependence formed by VCC enhances PT, and it partially mediates the relationship between PDE and PT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides theoretical support for promoting the transformation of PDE to PT through effective VCC on CBEC platforms and extends empowerment theory, VCC theory and trust field. The results provide valuable guidance for sellers to leverage PDE as a driver of win-win cooperation and development through effective VCC with the platform.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Previous research has focused on consumers\u2019 views of e-commerce and developing practical solutions to enhance their confidence in participating in online transactions while lacking sufficient understanding of sellers\u2019 demands on the CBEC platform. We address this gap in the literature by exploring the mechanism of how PDE influences VCC and PT from the seller\u2019s perspective.<\/jats:p>\n
