Purpose - Nowadays, more than ever before, fierce competition, deep market segmentation, short product life cycles, and intensifying customer needs are putting increasing pressure on franchise's organizations to satisfy their customers by creating market-oriented relationships with and enhancing their market knowledge of them. One way that this might be achieved is by establishing deep ties (i.e., job commitment and job satisfaction) with their employees. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how two important constructs of franchises' strategic efforts, LO (learning orientation) and RMO (relationship marketing orientation), affect job satisfaction, given the mediating role of job commitment. A franchise system comprises a set of contractual arrangements by which mutual obligations are performed. An organizational learning goal motivates employees to improve their abilities and master the tasks they perform. Relationship marketing, in addition, is to identify, establish, maintain, and enhance relationships with customers and other stakeholders to ensure that the objectives of all parties are met and this is done through the mutual exchange of promises. In a relationship marketing orientation, then, a firm creates, maintains, and enhances a strong relationship with its customers by sustaining long-term ties. This study was designed to examine the evolution of various theoretical approaches to franchise systems in order to determine whether theories about firms have significantly affected the franchise system. To this end, the authors developed a structural model consisting of several constructs. Previous studies have suggested that franchises' learning and relationship marketing orientations are important occupational immersion dimensions driving job satisfaction. Research design, data, methodology - We empirically tested a process of how the learning orientation and the relationship marketing orientation influence job commitment and job satisfaction using survey data drawn from 150 responding franchisees who were interviewed about their individual tendencies. Results - The results of this study provide empirical evidence that learning orientation, relationship marketing orientation, and job commitment all influence franchisees' job satisfaction. The results of this study indicate that, first, learning orientation had a significant effect on job satisfaction; second, relationship marketing orientation was positively related to job commitment; third, job commitment had a significant effect on job satisfaction. We also found that relationship marketing orientation and job satisfaction were mediated by job commitment. Conclusions - The findings of this study confirm the importance of learning orientation and relationship marketing orientation in maintaining a positive marketing relationship between franchiser and franchisee from to the perspective of the market. This indicates that franchiser support such as educational programs provided by the franchiser will help franchisees attain higher business management achievement and satisfaction. Moreover, a positive relationship between franchisees and consumers can be maintained through tie effects. Our findings also suggest that learning orientation plays a critical role in job satisfaction within the franchise system.

Although previous studies have made significant progress in adaptive selling behavior (ASB), few studies have considered salesperson's customer orientation (CO) and learning behavior as determinants of effective sales management (ASB and relationship-making efforts), despite the discussion of important roles of these constructs. The authors test not only the relationships of salesperson's CO and market-based learning behavior to ASB and relationship-making efforts, but also the effects of ASB on relationship-making efforts and performance. The results of the study, which is done with samples of salespeople from Korean companies, indicate that salesperson's CO and market-based learning behavior are identified as significant determinants of ASB. Moreover, both salesperson's ASB and relationship-making efforts have significant effects on sales performance. On the other hand, as per salesperson's relationship-making efforts, salesperson's CO has a positive effect, but salesperson's market-based learning behavior and ASB do not influence his or her relationship-making efforts, which suggest a provocative possibility of conceptualization regarding the relationship between ASB and relationship management efforts.

최근 의료기관에서도 내부마케팅 활동이 중요하다는 인식이 점차 확대되고 있지만 병원 내부마케팅에 관한 연구는 미흡한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 내부마케팅과 서비스지향성이 병원이미지에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 내부마케팅과 서비스지향성 간의 영향관계에서 자기효능감의 조절효과를 검정하는 것이다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 내부마케팅 요인 중 권한위임, 교육과 훈련, 리더십이 서비스 지향성에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 리더십이 가장 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 내부커뮤니케이션과 보상은 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 서비스지향성이 병원이미지에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 두 요인 간에 영향관계가 형성되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 내부마케팅과 서비스지향성간에 자기효능감의 조절효과를 분석한 결과, 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났지만 대체적으로 효능감이 높은 집단이 좀 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 관리자들은 높은 수준의 병원이미지를 구축하기 위해 내부마케팅과 서비스 지향성을 개선시켜야 하며, 종업원들이 자기효능감을 가질 수 있도록 동기를 부여해야 한다.
