Resumo

This study aimed to analyze the mediating role of value co-creation in the relationship between personal interaction and perceived value among restaurant consumers. Perceived value was assessed across three dimensions—economic, individual, and relational—and value co-creation was treated as a second-order construct. The study adopted a quantitative approach, using a structured questionnaire administered to 107 restaurant consumers. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics software and the PROCESS macro (Hayes, 2018). The results indicated that personal interaction exerts a direct and significant influence on value co-creation but does not have a direct effect on the dimensions of perceived value. In the mediation test, the indirect effects of personal interaction on perceived value, mediated by value co-creation, were statistically significant, while the direct effects remained non-significant. These findings reinforce the service-dominant logic perspective, according to which value is co-created through interactions between consumers and organizations, offering relevant theoretical and practical implications for service management in restaurants.
