Abstract

This research is an empirical research that surveys the influence factors of franchisee's compliance and precedence, which have a direct effect on the success of franchisor, from the view of relation exchange theory. The results herein show that the trust of franchisees towards franchisor has a complete mediating effect between conflict and compliance. This means that in a franchise system, it is important to build trust in order to successfully manage franchisees. Trust built between franchisor and the franchisee has a dominating effect based on relationship even on domains not specified on the contract. Also, it is very important in that it decreases frequently occurring conflicts caused by disagreement of interests and unfair relationship of power, and effectuates compliance of franchisees. Such result is a meaningful theoretical and practical contribution in that it has for the first time domestically investigated the mechanism of relationship leading from conflict and trust to compliance of franchisees by methods of theoretical discussion and empirical analysis.

본 연구는 프랜차이즈 본사의 성과에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 가맹점 순응과 선행 영향요인을 관계교환이론관점에서 살핀 실증연구이다. 연구결과 본사에 대한 가맹점 신뢰가 갈등과 순응 사이에서 완전매개 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 프랜차이즈 시스템에서 성공적인 가맹점 관리를 위해 신뢰 구축이 중요함을 의미한다. 본사와 가맹점 상호 간에 형성된 신뢰는 계약서에 명기되지 않은 영역까지 관계적 지배의 영향력을 발휘한다. 또한 이해의 불일치와 불공정한 힘의 관계로 빈번히 발생하는 갈등을 감소시키고 가맹점 순응을 유발한다는 점에서 대단히 중요하다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 갈등과 신뢰 그리고 가맹점 순응으로 이어지는 관계의 메커니즘을 이론적 논의 및 실증분석을 통해 규명했다는 점에서 이론적 실무적 공헌이 크다.
