The purpose of this study is to verify the structural relationship among affective characteristics, cognitive characteristics, students’ participation, and course-retaking intention in e-learning environment. Web survey was conducted from one university in Korea and 210 students participated in this survey who already took e-learning courses. A hypothetical model was proposed, which was composed of affective characteristics, cognitive characteristics as a extraneous variable, and students’ participation, course-retaking intention as endogenous variables. Also, students’ participation has been suggested as a intervening endogenous variable. The results of this study through structural equation modeling analysis are as follows: First, affective characteristics affect students’ participation, course-retaking intention. Second, cognitive characteristics affect students’ participation but doesn’t course-retaking intention. Third, students’ participation mediated between affective characteristics and course-retaking intention. But it doesn’t mediate between cognitive characteristics and course-retaking intention. Implications based on research results are as follows: Affective characteristics of the learners should be considered for students’ participation and course-retaking intention.
