For this purpose, the results of the survey were collected for 111 small and mid-sized food service franchisees in Korea with less than 100 brand franchises, referring to article 9 of the act on Fair Trade. Structural equation model analysis was used for hypothesis testing. The results of the study are as follows; First, a support for store development, education, logistics, and supervisors among franchise's support system were found to have a significant impact on the franchisee's trust, but public relations support was not significantly affected. Second, a support for store development had significant influence on the financial performance, but the support for education, logistics, supervisors and public relations did not significantly affect the financial performance. Third, franchisee's trust has been shown to have a significant impact on financial performance and intention of multi-store operation. Fourth, financial performance was shown to have a significant impact on the intention of multi-store operation.

본 연구의 목적은 외식 프랜차이즈 가맹본부의 지원시스템이 가맹점 신뢰와 재무적성과 그리고 가맹사업자의 다점포 운영의도간의 영향관계를 규명하는데 있다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 가맹사업 거래 공정화에 관한 법률 제9조를 참고하여 브랜드 가맹점 숫자가 100개 이하인 국내 중소형 외식 프랜차이즈 가맹사업자 111명을 대상으로 설문 결과를 수집하였으며, 가설 검증에는 구조방정식 모형 분석을 활용하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가맹본부의 지원시스템 중 점포개발지원, 교육지원, 물류지원, 슈퍼바이저지원은 가맹점 신뢰에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으나, 홍보지원은 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 가맹본부 지원시스템 중 점포개발지원은 가맹점 재무적 성과에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으나, 교육지원, 물류지원, 슈퍼바이저지원, 홍보지원은 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 가맹점 신뢰는 재무적 성과와 다점포 운영의도에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 가맹점의 재무적성과는 다점포 운영의도에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 신뢰와 다점포 운영의도 영향에서 재무적 성과의 매개 효과를 확인해 본 결과 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인 되었다. 본 연구는 중소형 외식 프랜차이즈 지원시스템, 가맹점 신뢰, 재무적성과, 다점포 운영의도 간의 영향 관계를 확인 하였으며, 특히 국내 중소형 외식 프랜차이즈 가맹점의 성과와 가맹본부의 시스템의 질적 성장을 통해 동반성장 할 수 있는 영향관계를 확인하였다는데 의의가 있다고 판단된다.
