The effect of unexpected features on app users’ continuance intention

作者:

Highlights:

• For expectancy-based theories, we separate unexpectedness from confirmation.

• We incorporate unexpectedness, delight, and customer citizenship behaviors (CCB) into traditional expectancy theories.

• Satisfaction is more affected by confirmation and delight is more determined by unexpectedness.

• Delight is relatively important to CCB, satisfaction is associated more with continuance intention.
