This paper aims at identifying trust factors to be managed in UCC environment, and how those trust factors impact on trust in UCC site. Also this paper examines the moderating effect of level of UCC participation(UCC retrieve, UCC production) on the relation between trust in UCC site and intention to use. For this purpose, we identified information, system, service, and site trust through intensive review of prior researches and some expert interviews. A total 338 surveys were used to analyze research hypothesis. The findings show that information, system, and service trust is positively and significantly related to site trust, and then site trust has impact on UCC usage. But, It is proven that there is no difference in effect of site trust on UCC usage according to level of UCC participation.

J.E.N(Joint Enjoyment Network) is the ubiquitous UCC play contents system that provides amusements off-line by utilizing the UCC that people are able to participate in. It is also the entertainment service system that is devised to use contents that could be enjoyed through the cell phone and to make people participate in production, in cases of meeting people off-line during their pastime. The development of this system begins from pointing out the problem of the limitation of the UCC that does participate in production but the produced contents could only be watched, and the UCC only works on-line. The goal of researching this ubiquitous UCC play contents is to suggest the UCC entertainment service system that are available off-line by applying the interactive system to UCC and, by this, to obtain the positive responses about the off-line participating UCC contents. In this research, it chooses scenario and 테스크 performance as the method of deriving the participating UCC from the off-line, and it suggests the ubiquitous UCC play contents system through analyzing the behaviors in each off-line place. Moreover, by developing the prototype that could practically perform the system, it verifies the potentialities of the UCC entertainment service. The anticipation of this study is to make people participate and enjoy not only in production, but also in the contents made. This research will provide the modern people who concern about where to go and what to do with the amusements and will also present a way of new form of contents mixed with UCC and the entertainment service.

사용자들이 직접 콘텐츠의 제작 및 공유에 참여하는 패러다임의 변화로써 사용자 제작 콘텐츠(UCC)가 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 UCC의 제작과 공유 과정에 영향을 미치는 동기와 보상 요인을 살펴보고, 이를 바탕으로 보다 창의적인 콘텐츠를 제작, 공유하기 위한 UCC 서비스의 보상 체계를 구축하려고 시도하였다. 이를 위해, 보상과 동기에 관련한 광범위한 문헌 조사를 실시하였으며, 이를 기반으로 UCC 에서의 보상 체계에 대한 연구 모형을 수립하고 설문조사 방법론을 통해 이를 검증하였다. 총 133 명의 블로그 사용자들이 연구에 참여하였으며, 수집된 데이터는 구조방정식을 이용하여 분석되었다. 연구 결과 개별 보상 요인들은 사용자들의 UCC 제작과 관련한 내, 외재적 동기에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 그러한 동기 요인들에 따라서 UCC의 창의성 수준이 달라질 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 기존에 경영학 분야에서 주로 연구되어 온 보상의 개념을 보다 확장하여 UCC 라는 새로운 서비스에 적용하였다는 데에 그 이론적인 의의를 찾을 수 있으며, 또한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 UCC 서비스에서의 새로운 보상 체계에 대한 가이드라인을 제시하였다는 점에서 연구의 실용적 의의를 찾을 수 있다고 판단된다.

참여의 멱함수 이론은 UCC를 생산, 배포, 소비, 재생산하는 과정에 참여하는 사용자들을 분석하는 유용한 도구이다. 참여의 멱함수 이론을 통해 무리는 집합적 지성과 집단 지성을 구분하고 참여의 형태를 세분화하며 참여자간의 관계 분석할 수 있다. 즉 다양한 기술, 사회, 정치 현상들에 배경 정보가 되어 영향력을 행사하는 UCC는 어떤 이유로 제작되고 어떤 형태로 나누어지며 생산한 사람들 간의 관계 또는 생산자와 생산자 고리고 생산자와 소비자 간의 관계를 설명할 때 설득력들 높인다. UCC가 웹 2.0의 어떤 기술 속에 생산되고 배포되고 소비되는지에 대한 플랫폼의 설계에도 멱함수 법칙은 도움을 주는 도구이다.

This study identifies key determinants of participation in UCC services. Incorporating insights from the flow theory, we examine the effects of psychological factors of social presence, self expression, arousal, and challenge as well as web-site characteristics variables of media easiness, contents usability, and immediateness. We have done a sample survey of internet users and collected 260 responses. Using Windows SPSS/PC 12.0 Package, we have performed statistical analyses including a correlation analysis, a factor analysis, and a multiple regression analysis. The result of the study is as follows. Psychological variables of perceived social presence, self expression, arousal, and challenge all show positive significant effect on participation in UCC service. Among web site characteristics, media easiness, which consists of a web structure that is easy-to-use, user friendliness, and personalized service, demonstrates a positive significant effect on participation in UCC services. Immediateness also has a positive significant effect. Some of the practical implications of the result are follows. We should improve user access to platforms of UCC service by opening up platforms. This will heighten perceived challenge which has the strongest influence on participation in UCC services. We need to focus on multimedia services and adjust to the cultural code of netizen who crave for visual expressions and on the spot on-line activities. Also suggested is that contributions made by participants need to be acknowledged through such provisions as profit sharing. Needs for individualized service, which is an aspect of media easiness, should also be addressed. Participants tend to value individuality while at the same time accepting broader trends. Information services need to be customized for individuals. In UCC centered internet businesses, netizen consumers are presumer. They are consumers and producers at the same time, and consumer needs should also be explored for the success of internet businesses.

This study identifies key determinants and types of participation in UCC Services. The research examines the how the major factors in perception of social presence, fun and entertainment, self-expression, arousal, human relations, positive feedback, information sharing, monetary business opportunity, and user friendliness of web structure contribute to participation in UCC Services. The data used in this study were collected by a web-based survey so that 629 internet users were available for analysis. Some of the practical implications of the results are follows. We have categorized that the type of people participating in UCC Services were readers, modifiers, remixers, and creators. Digital consumers directly connected with other consumers by producing their own digital contents. Multiple regression analysis among the creators group was not included due to small sample size. Self expression, fun and joy and the convenience of the web interface showed strong positive significant impacts on the UCC Service participation of all participation types. Information sharing, other's positive reputation and arousal showed a positive significant impact on the modifiers or remixers type groups. Monetary business opportunity and human relations were not significant in any UCC type group.
