Rezension: Vigoda-Gadot, Eran, & Vashdi, R. Dana (Eds.) (2020): Handbook of Research Methods in Public Administration, Management and Policy

The "Handbook of Research Methods in Public Administration, Management and Policy", offers researchers, students, and practitioners a comprehensive and application-oriented insight into established and newer research designs and analytical methods in empirical administrative science. With this approach, the handbook fills a gap in the existing literature on methods in administrative science. The handbook chapters follow a two-part structure, in which the respective method is, first, presented and discussed theoretically and conceptually. The second part of the chapter provides an example of how the specific research design or method is applied to an administrative science research question. Therefore, the handbook can be used both in methods courses and as an aid for doctoral students who want to familiarize themselves with current and innovative methods in empirical administrative science in a short time
