ResumoOs consumidores recorrem ao user generated content (UGC) para tomar decisões, nomeadamente escolhas relacionadas com o turismo, como viagens, acomodação e restaurantes. O objetivo deste estudo é compreender a relação existente entre o valor funcional e a utilidade percebida pelos consumidores em relação ao UGC, considerando o contexto do turismo no YouTube. O estudo é quantitativo, tendo-se obtido 748 respostas ao questionário online dirigido a utilizadores do YouTube em Portugal. Através da análise de dados multivariada verificou-se que quanto maior a perceção do valor funcional do UGC, maior a utilidade percebida destes conteúdos. O estudo contribui para um maior conhecimento do uso do UGC, sugerindo que empresas na área do turismo apostem na criação de conteúdo útil para os consumidores. Palavras-chave:User generated content; valor funcional; utilidade percebida; YouTube. AbstractConsumers are turning to user generated content (UGC) to make decisions, including tourismrelated choices such as travel, accommodation and restaurants. The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between the functional value and the perceived utility of the UGC by consumers, considering the context of tourism in YouTube. The study is quantitative and in total 748 responses were obtained through an online questionnaire addressed to YouTube users in Portugal. Through the analysis of multivariate data it was verified that the greater the perception of the functional value of the UGC, the greater the perceived utility of these contents. The study contributes to a greater knowledge of the use of UGC, suggesting that companies in the tourism area should engage in the creation of useful content for consumers.
