Highlights:

• This study attempts to explain e-service customer post-adoption behaviors in a unified model based on the Affective Events Theory (AET).

• Perceived site quality, affective reactions, and cognitive appraisal of incident-handling determine e-service customer behaviors.

• The results confirm that perceived site quality and cognitive appraisal of incident-handling deterine e-service customer retention behaviors.

• Three post-adoption behaviors under investigation are continuance intention, complaint intention, and recommendation intention.
