본 연구는 가맹사업자의 자기효능감에 주목하여 정부가 예비가맹사업자들을 보호하기 위해 가맹본부에 다양한 규제와 정책을 사용하는 것이 최선의 방법이 아니라는 것에 관심을 두고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경로-목표이론(path-goal theory)에서 제시한 가맹본부의 리더십 행동 유형과 가맹사업자의 관계결속의 영향관계에 있어서 가맹사업자의 특성으로 자기효능감의 조절효과를 규명하고, 실증 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 연구의 시사점을 발견할 수 있었다. 첫째, 가맹본부의 리더십 행동유형이 관계결속에 긍정적 효과를 가져 온다는 사실이 확인됨으로써 가맹본부는 가맹사업자에게 맞는 리더십 행동유형을 적용할 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 둘째, 가맹사업자의 자기효능감이 관계결속에 긍정적 효과가 있을 뿐만 아니라, 리더십 행동유형과 관계결속 사이에 상당한 조절효과가 있기 때문에 가맹본부는 가맹사업자들의 개인차(individual difference) 관리가 필요하다. 셋째, 정부는 가맹본부를 규제할 것만이 아니라 가맹본부가 가맹사업자들의 특성을 확실하게 파악하고 기업의 목표달성을 위한 정당한 통제가 가능하도록 제도적 지원을 해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the service quality satisfaction in the franchisor-franchisee relation. For the result of this study, we studied the franchisees' answers to the questionnaires about franchisors' service quality. Through this study, we showed the basic data about the selective criteria of the franchisors' service quality. Based on this study, it can be concluded that there are differences in their service quality. The most effective factors of the franchisor's service quality are personnel service(0.510) and menu service(0.390). The finding is $R^2$ -0.489. Therefore, franchisor should pay attention to competent labor service and new menu development. Each factor affects satisfaction with franchisee's service quality, but only convenience and location are not affected.

프랜차이즈 시스템은 독립적인 유통경로 구성원들이 가맹계약을 통해 서로의 명시적 의무를 이행하면서 운영되는 시스템이다. 하지만 프랜차이즈 본부와 가맹점 간의 관계가 지속되면서 보다 밀접하고 우호적인 관계결속이 프랜차이즈 시스템의 중요한 성공요인으로 대두되고 있다. 더우기 최근 환경 불확실성이 가중되면서 프랜차이즈 본부와 가맹점 사이에 힘의 불균형 상태가 발생하고 있기 때문에 본부와 가맹간의 관계결속이 지니는 의미는 한 층 더 중요해 지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 프랜차이즈 본부의 가맹점에 대한 통제 기제에 초점을 맞추어, 첫째, 프랜차이즈 가맹점의 결속인지에 대한 통제기제의 영향, 둘째, 관계 기간에 따른 통제기제의 적절성과 그 영향에 미치는 영향을 검토한 것이다. 본 연구의 대상은 국내 제일의 패스트푸드 프랜차이즈 체인과 가맹점들이었다. 분석 결과, 프랜차이즈 본부의 거래특유투자, 관계규범 등이 결속인지를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 좀 더 자세히 살펴보면, 단기적 관계에서는 본부의 거래특유투자만이 결속인지를 증가시킨 반면 장기적 관계에서는 본부의 거래특유투자 및 관계규범 모두 결속인지를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 프랜차이즈 본부와 가맹점간의 관계만족의 경우, 본부의 결속에 대한 가맹점의 인지가 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났으며, 본부의 의사결정에 대한 가맹점의 참여와 관계의 명료성을 높이는 공식화가 관계만족을 높이는 요인으로 나타났다.

Purpose - Domestic franchise market has been grown steadily, reaching 50 trillion won in sales and 3,360 franchise headquarters in 2014. A franchise system is an effective business system for the franchisees to lower the failure rate due to the fact that the inexperienced entrepreneurs are supported by their headquarters through the franchisee contract. However, there are also conflicts between franchiser and franchisee behind the quantitative growth of domestic franchise industry. Therefore, it is very important to structure the causes of conflicts and to examine the effect of factors on the relationship commitment and performances. Research design, data, and methodology - In this study, the author divides the composite incompatibility between the franchise and the franchisee into goal incongruity, domain dissensus, and perceptual differences, and examines each dimension to the relationship with commitment and performances. To verify the proposed research model and test hypotheses, the author selected 200 franchise responses in food and beverage industry. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS structural equation modeling program. Results - The empirical findings provide goal incongruity and perceptual differences have a negative effect on the affective commitment, but not the calculative commitment. In addition, affective commitment and calculative commitment are found to have a positive effect on re-contractual intention and extended brand shop running intention, respectively. Affective commitment have a stronger effect on re-contractual intention than calculative commitment. Conclusions - First of all, the fact that goal incongruity and perceptual differences negatively affect the affective commitment, but it does not affect the calculative commitment. It means the relationship commitment in distribution channel are multi-dimensional concept that may be attributed to emotional or affective dimensions but may exist in terms of necessity or power-dependence. Second, the level of relationship commitment such as affective and calculative commitment to franchise headquarters positively affects the re-contractual intention and franchiser's extend brand shop running intention suggest that franchiser should encourage and support existing franchisee's commitment. Third, the fact that affective commitment has a greater effect on relationship performance than calculative commitment means to induce franchisee's affective commitment and to prevent the inconsistency between goals and perceptual differences.

Purpose: The Korean franchise market has undergone drastic growth in recent years. Followed by expansion of franchise business types, relevant legal matters have diversified. Compared to conventional economic laws that focused on resolving problems related to unfair transactions between franchisors and franchisees, more diverse labor laws have emerged recently due to governance and economic dependencies of franchise structure. However, it was found that the business environment of franchisees and working conditions of franchisee employees have not changed accordingly due to the unique structure of franchise business. Though franchisees are entrepreneurs independent from franchisors, they are still under franchising contract with the franchisors. For instance, employees of franchisees have been exposed to malpractices in regard to pay, time, and other working conditions. These malpractices may show the ineffectiveness of current labor laws. Labor management is an important issue for sustainability of franchise businesses. Negative publicity of franchises generated from violating relevant labor laws may have significant negative impact on overall image of franchised brands. However, franchisors should not hold franchisees fully responsible for legal violations in terms of labor management but strive to prevent relevant risks. Thus, the recent amendment in labor law related to increased minimum wage and reduced worktime have called for more attention to effectively implementing the law. Research design, data, and methodology: This study was conducted through a review of franchise-related laws and various institutions and policies. Results: It is further needed for all parties, including franchisors, franchisees, and franchisee employees, to take collaborative actions to improve working conditions of franchisees. Therefore, this study aims to propose appropriate and effective response plans toward recent changes in the Minimum Wage Act, while strengthening sustainability of franchisors, franchisees, and their employees. Conclusions: The proposal mainly contains plans regarding profit-related aids and profit sharing/cost reduction strategies for franchisees, as well as collective bargaining in the franchisor-franchisee relation. More detailed suggestions are included. Conclusions: This proposal may help franchisors and policymakers develop business plans and policies in improving business conditions of franchisees and working conditions of franchisee employees.

Purpose - This article aims to present and test a model regarding franchisors' supporting activities that may positively influence franchisees' attitude toward the franchising headquarter and their own business performance. Moreover, the authors examine the moderating effect of competitive intensity between franchisee attitude and business performance. Most previous research focused on behavioral performance measurements such as satisfaction, trust, and commitment. There are few empirical studies that focus on financial performance data because it is difficult to determine a relational mechanism between behavioral and financial performance. Moreover, financial data is confidential and difficult to collect in many cases. However, this study measures financial performance (e.g., sales revenue per square meter) differently than most previous research, which is mostly focused on the behavioral performance measurements. Research design, data, and methodology - To test our hypotheses, we selected 137 franchisee managers who are running chains of one of the foremost bakery franchise brands in South Korea. This study carefully investigated the reliability, content validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the proposed instrument by analyzing the data obtained from the samples. The data was analyzed using the AMOS structural equation modeling program. Results - The results indicated that: non-financial support activities (e.g., information exchange and communication) had a positive impact on the franchisee attitude toward the franchising headquarter. The franchisee attitude in turn had a positive effect on the headquarters' business performance. Furthermore, competitive intensity could enhance the relationship between franchisee attitude toward franchising headquarter and business performance in a local franchise market. However, financial support activities (e.g., rewards and promotional support) and training had no relationship with either franchisee attitude or business performance. Conclusions - This study provides some practical implications to franchisors in terms of franchise operation and store opening strategies. With respect to the franchise operation strategy, franchisors need to focus on non-financial rather than financial support. Most franchisees consider the necessity of financial support activities and not their sufficiency because these activities are specified in their franchise contract. In addition, it is important for franchisees to maintain a positive attitude for the franchise headquarters. The franchisees with a positive attitude for the franchisor can show a high degree of solidarity for various support activities, and it consequently determines franchisees' sales performance. In terms of franchise store opening strategy, this study suggests an additional criterion that can be considered in determining the location of direct and non-direct management stores (e.g., franchisees' stores). In this research, franchise stores located within high level of competitive intensity are shown to have a high relationship between franchisee attitudes of franchisor support activities and business performance compared to the franchisees located within low competitive intensity level. This result shows that opening non-direct franchise stores is more effective than direct stores in higher competitive market situations. Research contribution, implications, and further research directions are discussed at the end of the paper.
