Abstract

This study examines the effect of the self-overviewing attributes derived from agency problem on the cost behavior in franchise industry. To solve the research problem, we developed the proxies for self-overviewing attributes of domestic franchise CEO and used Anderson et al. (2003)'s cost behavior model to test hypothesis. Moreover, we grouped the self-overviewing variables for additional test. We find that operating costs are more sticky for firms which present higher CEO's self-overviewing attributes in franchise industry. Second, we find that the greater the self-overviewing tendency, more strengthened cost stickiness when sales decrease. This study is meaningful in that we developed proxies for self-overviewing propensity, such as the hypodermic behaviors of franchise CEO, which have not been performed in previous studies, to enhance future studies of franchise CEO. Futhermore, we empirically provide the effects of CEO's self-overviewing attributes on the operating costs behaviors, suggesting useful information to franchise stakeholders such as prospective start-ups, franchisee and investors.

본 연구는 프랜차이즈 경영자의 사적 효용 동기에서 비롯된 자기과시적 성향이 기업의 원가행태에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지를 검정하고자 하였다. 연구 문제를 해결하기 위해 국내 프랜차이즈 경영자의 자기과시적 성향에 대한 대용치를 개발하고 이들 특성 변수를 그룹화하여 그룹별 독립변수가 영업비용인 종속변수에 미치는 영향을 다중회귀모형을 이용하여 비교·분석하였다. 연구 결과, 프랜차이즈 경영자의 자기과시적 성향은 매출 감소 시 영업비용의 하방경직성을 강화시키게 되고, 자기과시적 성향이 커질수록 하방경직성은 더욱 강화되어 나타났다. 본 연구는 기존 연구에서 수행되지 않았던 프랜차이즈 경영자의 갑질 행위 등의 자기과시적 성향에 대한 대용치를 개발하여 향후 프랜차이즈 경영자에 대한 연구를 강화하고, 기업의 영업비용에 미치는 경영자의 자기과시적 속성의 영향을 확인함으로써 예비창업자, 가맹점주, 투자자 등의 프랜차이즈 이해관계자에게 유용한 정보를 제공할 것이다.
