Understanding the "lived Experience" of Sport Event Volunteers: Using the Hermeneutic Circle as a Guiding Conceptual Framework

Abstract

Understanding the 'lived experience' of sport event volunteers: Using the hermeneutic circle as a guiding conceptual framework http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/9179/ Article LJMU has developed LJMU Research Online for users to access the research output of the University more effectively.

The event experiences of attendees with food allergies, intolerances and coeliac disease: risk loaded value-creation/destruction

“…Researchers have thus called for further studies of events using qualitative approaches that account for affective, subjective dimensions of perceptions and lived experiences (cf. Gellweiler et al, 2018;Holloway et al, 2010;Jackson et al, 2018;Ziakas and Boukas, 2014). This further reinforces the importance of examining the event experiences of consumers with specific dietary and foodrelated health requirements qualitatively.…”

Exploring experiences and emotions sport event volunteers associate with ‘role exit’

“…The conceptual research framework in this paper draws from hermeneutic phenomenology (see Laverty, 2003), an interpretative approach of collecting and analysing data about a specific phenomenon – such as sport event volunteering. Phenomenology as an epistemological framework is concerned with exploring rather than merely describing contextual aspects and structures of lived experiences (Gellweiler et al, 2018). Based on this approach, the aim of this study is to understand how sport event volunteers experience role exit.…”

“…An overarching theme depicting the 2008 WFG volunteer at the role exit stage was that of “the bereaved” along with a number of related subthemes outlined in the analysis highlighting how volunteers felt as their volunteer journey concluded. Role exit is defined as the final stage of the hermeneutic circle of sport event volunteering (see Gellweiler et al, 2018). Ebaugh (1988) notes that emotional disentanglement is where those exiting a role experience a number of different feelings ranging from elation and relief to mixed feelings of sadness, fear and anger as they depart a role.…”

An introduction to A Research Agenda for Event Impacts

“…The scale and duration of an event will more or less show the extent of an event's impact, and depending on how successful an event was or how it was Nicholas Wise -9781839109256 Downloaded from Elgar Online at 02/14/2022 06:08:33AM via communal account received will either extend event impacts or limit impacts going forward. With any event lifecycle there are the pre-, during, and post-event phases (Gellweiler et al, 2018;Holmes and Ali-Knight, 2017), or initiation, planning, implementation, event, and closure phases as highlighted in Bladen et al (2018). A lot of research has addressed these different phases independently, so calls for more longitudinal approaches will allow researchers to understand the different extents of impacts at these different stages.…”

“…Wise et al present a range of perspectives from the literature and address key questions and social conditions that researchers can take forward in social impact studies. The authors of this chapter assess the social impacts of events across numerous cases and discuss a number of conceptual directions (see Gellweiler et al, 2018Gellweiler et al, , 2019Tian, 2017;Tian and Wise, 2020;Wise, 2019).…”
