The theoretical framework of your study establishes a perspective from which you view the problem you want to investigate. This perspective acts like a set of "lenses" which help you to plan and carry out your research. The central purpose of the theoretical framework is to give you a "map" that helps you decide which variables are relevant to your study, what data to collect and how to make sense of the research results.
