AB The franchisor-franchisee relationship is governed by contracts and trust. This paper analyzes howformal (contracts) and relational (trust) governance mechanisms affected franchisor performancein a service sector franchise for the period 2008¬2015. Using the SOM method in the empiricalanalysis, the results revealed that trust-based governance was more prominent than contractbasedgovernance in the multi-unit franchise network and the cross-franchising network, negativelyaffecting franchisor performance in the multi-unit franchise network and positively affectingfranchisor performance in the cross-franchising network. In contrast, contracts were more prominentthan trust in single-unit franchising, negatively affecting franchisor performance. The primarypractical implication is that the franchisor should prevent franchisees in the MUF network fromopening new outlets in the same city and competing for the existing outlet’s customers.
