QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ON PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The theory of public administration has made significant progress over the past thirty years, but it has not shaped methodology as an important symbol of discipline, which has led to a crisis of discipline identity and even difficulties in teaching the discipline. Quantitative research methods in public administration are important in theory and practice, but quantitative analysis cannot cover the entire content of public administration research. It is necessary to build a system of methodology and research methods for public administration research.
