resmethods07.jpg Name:  Research Methods for Public Administrators, Fifth Edition, 2007, by Elizabethann O’Sullivan, Gary R. Rassel, and Maureen Berner
Published by Longman Publishers, this accessible text and CD offers an abundance of engaging examples and provides step-by-step instructions to illustrate common research methods and techniques, providing students and future administrators with a sound foundation in model building, research design, measurement, and sampling. The book’s statistical section focuses on correct use and interpretation of commonly used statistics, including linear regression.

The book’s overall aim is to develop effective, efficient research skills among future public administrators so that they will be better policy makers. It accomplishes this not only by providing a comprehensive survey of research techniques, but also by developing students’ awareness of the ethical issues associated with conducting research and reporting findings.
