Abstract
To know the uses and gratifications that individuals make of Facebook is important to learn why they use it and how business marketing should proceed. This research focuses on analyzing the possible motivational dimensions and their relationship with satisfaction and use of the platform. A questionnaire was provided to 214 students from 7 different careers and 50 workers from the Technical University of Ambato (Ecuador). The factorial and correlational analysis showed various components depending on age, as well as relationships with the degree of satisfaction or connection time. The results indicated statistically significant differences between the uses made by students compared to workers, as well as discrepancies based on gender and age. The conclusions lead to a more profundity and longitudinal study of the platform, proposing new lines of research, as well as different reflections on the uses and repercussions that this social network site has every day in the lives of millions of people.
