Abstract

Despite the pervasiveness of unauthorized and illegal events and gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic, event scholars have not examined the behavior of attendees, the various types of unauthorized gatherings, and the consequences of meeting and gathering during a pandemic. Thus, the aim of this viewpoint is to bring attention to unauthorized events by highlighting various theoretical frameworks that explain how risk, social needs, and customer deviance provide understanding of unauthorized events and gatherings. A research agenda provides probing research questions that can be used to create a research stream in the area of unauthorized events.

摘要

尽管在COVID-19大流行期间普遍存在未经授权和非法的活动和聚会，但事件学者并未检查参与者的行为，各种未经授权的聚会以及大流行期间聚会和聚会的后果。因此，该观点的目的是通过强调各种理论框架来引起人们对未授权事件的关注，这些理论框架解释了风险，社会需求和客户偏差如何提供对未授权事件和聚会的理解。研究议程提供了可探索的研究问题，可用于在未经授权的事件领域中创建研究流。
