Abstract

The domestic pharmacy market has undergone a lot of changes starting from the division of medicine. Along with the division of medicine, patients who had previously visited the pharmacy were moved to a hospital or clinic. As the pharmacy became more dependent on the illness and the clinic, the pharmacy began various activities to search for ways other than prescription drugs. At this time, the importance of distribution was emphasized around the time, and as the need to strengthen the competitiveness of pharmacies increased, they rapidly grew into the franchise market. Pharmacy franchise companies continue to lecture on academic management to strengthen the expertise of pharmacists' functions in line with the pharmacy market, which is different from ordinary franchise, in addition to private brand products for pharmacies, diversifying pharmacy handling items, And strengthening its market competitiveness. but research to support it are insufficient. As a research to help this, we analyzed factors affecting the intention of re-contracting and recommendation intention that affect the maintenance and expansion size of the drugstore franchise market. As a result showed the intention of re-contracting and the intention of recommending are affected by positive influence in brand trust. In addition, Brand Promise, Employee authenticity, Originality, Product excellence, Brand reputation, Brand identification, Educational Satisfaction were found to affect brand trust.

국내의 약국 시장은 의약분업이라는 분기를 기점으로 커다란 변화를 겪었다. 의약분업과 함께 이전에 약국을 찾던 환자들이 병 의원으로 이동하게 되었고, 약국은 병 의원에 대한 의존도가 높아지자 약국은 처방조제 이외의 활로를 모색하기 위한 다양한 활동들을 시작하였다. 이때를 전후해 유통의 중요성이 강조되고, 약국의 경쟁력 강화에 대한 필요가 늘어나면서 프랜차이즈 시장으로 급격히 성장하였다. 약국 프랜차이즈 기업들은 가맹 약국을 위한 주요 제품의 자체브랜드화, 약국 취급 품목의 다양화, 소비자 중심 진열기법 활용과 더불어 일반 프랜차이즈와는 차별화되는 약국 시장에 맞추어 약사 직능의 전문성 강화를 위한 약학 경영학 강의 등을 지속적으로 시행하며 시장 경쟁력을 강화시켜나가고 있으나, 이를 뒷받침해줄 학술적 연구와 조사는 미흡한 상황이다. 이에 도움을 주기 위한 연구로서 약국 프랜차이즈 시장의 외형적 규모 유지 및 확대에 영향을 주는 재계약의도와 추천의도에 미치는 요인을 분석한 결과 재계약의도와 추천의도는 브랜드 신뢰에서 긍정적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났고, 브랜드 신뢰는 브랜드 약속, 직원 진정성, 독창성, 제품 우수성, 브랜드 명성, 브랜드 동일시, 교육 만족도의 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되었다.
