Abstract

Franchise business in Thailand has experienced growth, particularly in the hospitality sector. The value of the franchising businesses in the country is expected to rise up to 20% in 2024. Past studies have largely focused on the franchisor perspective. Yet, for a sustainable franchise business success, franchisees? perceptions towards their success should be explored. The literature has highlighted the important role of franchisor support in bringing about the success of the franchise business. Similarly, communication is argued to influence franchisees? trust in and satisfaction with the franchisor. However, a limited number of studies have yet to incorporate both trust and satisfaction to explain how support and communication affect franchisees? performance. Thus, this study seeks to understand the role of support and communication of a franchisor in encouraging franchisees? performance. The mediating role of trust towards their satisfaction with the franchisor will also be explored. By doing so, this study will also address the chicken-egg relationship of trust and satisfaction.
