Some of these methods included quantitative ways of analyzing data, while other methods used different ways of qualitative approaches in analyzing the data. A lot of questions were placed about the nature of the public administration science, and if it should be treated as an administrative science or should it be considered a social science. The answer of these questions is critical because it's affecting the research. Researchers have been going back and forth since then arguing about the appropriate method to use in research. Is it the quantitative or the qualitative approaches that would be more suitable for a proper approach. The early researchers agreed that the qualitative methods was the right way to conduct research. However, other researchers were not comfortable with that method and stated that the quantitative ways can not answer a lot of human problems facing the public administrators. Thus, they concluded that more illustrative approach is needed, and these approaches require the use of many different qualitative methods in research. Research is based on a solid foundation of philosophy, practical experience, cultural characteristics, and social traditions.Therefore, gathering the data is an important process in research, and the data should be relevant to the research and in the same time it can be analyzed to add useful information. Moreover, research require an interrelated progression of theoretical process, and researchers are bound to choose an option out of many others at some points. Yet, not all researchers agree on which
