The present dissertation empirically assesses the effects of failure, complaints, and recovery on actual purchase behavior. Using a unique data set incorporating retail purchase data over three years and repeated survey measures capturing customer pre- and postfailure relationship perceptions, this thesis investigates the effects of failure resolution and perceived justice on postfailure purchase behavior. Interactional justice assumes a salient role as outcome determinant. Moreover, the findings suggest that recovery and marketplace characteristics moderate the effect of failure resolution on purchase behavior. In addition, the relative monetary effects of outcome determinants are assessed which provides important managerial implications.
