Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the support activities provided by the franchiser and how they affect the intention of the contract renewal and business performances made by franchisees, developing dynamic trust between these transactional partners. Various supportive activities between franchiser and franchisees were divided into financial and non-financial activities and dynamic trust into Transitional-based trust, Calculative-based trust, Relational-based trust, and Balanced-based trust. These trust types, which are variable and adjustable based on the opportunistic behaviors of business parties, were applied to define the impact of the support activities on the contract renewal intention and the performances. This study was developed around domestic franchisees. An investigator visited business owners and manager level-employees, explained the purpose of the survey prior to the response, and the answers were directly written by hands. A total of 348 copies were used for the analysis. As the results of the analysis, first, financial support activities were found to have a positive(+) effect on transitional-based trust, calculative-based trust, and balanced-based trust. On the other hand, non-financial support activities were found to have a positive(+) effect on calculative-based trust, relational-based trust, and balanced-based trust, and there was no significant relationship on transitional-based trust. Second, the dynamic trust had a statistically significant positive(+) effect on inducing the contract renewal. Lastly, in the relationship between the dynamic trust and its impact on business performances, only transitional-based trust, and relational-based trust were found to have a positive(+) effect on the financial performances. In addition, relational-based trust showed a meaningful positive(+) relationship on the non-financial performances, and non-financial performace showed a meaningful positive(+) relationship on the re-contract intention. From the results, it can be concluded that the financial and non-financial activities for a win-win partnership between franchiser and franchisees are essential in not only forming dynamic trust but also boosting business performances as well as maintaining the business relationship. Thus, it suggests that building a win-win partnership can be promoted more efficiently by specifying activities best suitable for a particular relationship. In addition, a specific set of activities could be presented for establishing the level of trust that is formed in situations that vary depending on transaction risks and interdependency arising from having the transactional relationship based on the contract as the franchise industry features. Eventually, it is expected that this study can provide a way to promote the qualitative improvement of the franchise industry by identifying factors essential to establishing a sustainable win-win system and relationships that can improve the business performance of franchisees.

본 연구에서는 국내 프랜차이즈 가맹점들을 대상으로 가맹본부의 지원활동이 가맹사업자간 가변적인 신뢰, 즉 동태적 신뢰를 통한 가맹본부와 재계약 의도 및 경영성과와의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 프랜차이즈 사업자간 이루어지는 다양한 활동을 재무적 지원활동과 비재무적 지원활동으로 구분하고, 거래관계에서 발생가능한 기회주의적 행동으로 인해 가변적으로 변화하는 신뢰 개념을 정의하고 있는 동태적 신뢰개념의 유형인 과도기적 신뢰, 계산기반 신뢰, 관계기반 신뢰 및 균형기반 신뢰를 적용하여 사업자간 재계약과 경영성과(재무적 성과 및 비재무적 성과)와의 관계를 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 국내 프랜차이즈 가맹점의 사업주 및 관리자 급을 대상으로 조사원이 직접 방문하여 설문 목적을 설명하고 직접 기입식으로 진행하였다. 분석에는 총 348부가 사용되었다. 분석결과, 첫째, 재무적 지원활동은 과도기적 신뢰, 계산적 신뢰 및 균형적 신뢰에서 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 비재무적 지원활동은 계산적 신뢰, 관계적 신뢰 및 균형적 신뢰에서 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 과도기적 신뢰에서는 유의한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 동태적 신뢰가 재계약 유도에 미치는 관계균형기반 신뢰가 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 관계가 나타났다. 셋째, 동태적 신뢰와 경영성과와의 관계에서는 재무적 성과에서는 과도기적 신뢰와 관계기반 신뢰가 정(+)의 관계가 나타났다. 또한 비재무적 성과에는 관계적 신뢰만이 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 관계가 검증되었다. 또한 경영성과와 재계약의도와의 관계에서는 비재무적 성과만이 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 관계가 검증되었다. 즉, 프렌차이즈 이해관계자 간의 상생을 위한 재무적 및 비재무적 활동은 동태적 신뢰형성과 함께, 경영성과뿐만 아니라 지속적인 관계유지와의 관계를 규명함으로써, 상생협력을 위한 가맹본부와 가맹점 간 집중가능 한 활동을 통해 그 가능성을 제시하였다. 또한 프랜차이즈 산업과 같이 계약기반의 거래 특정적 관계로 계약이행에 대한 이해관계, 계약유지에 대한 이해관계 등 거래상 위험과 상호의존성에 따라 가변적으로 상황에서 형성되는 신뢰수준 구축을 위한 활동을 제시할 수 있었다. 이처럼, 프랜차이즈 산업의 지속적인 상생시스템 구축에 필수적으로 요구되는 관계형성뿐만 아니라 가맹사업자의 경영성과를 개선할 수 있는 관계를 규명함으로써 함으로써 프랜차이즈 산업의 질적 향상을 도모할 수 있는 방안을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
