Abstract
This comprehensive guide addresses a gap in methodological literature by synthesizing quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research approaches within a structured framework. It bridges theoretical foundations, practical applications, and tool selection—a resource often lacking in traditional texts. The article presents comparative tables and a decision-support tree outlining core objectives, analytical strategies, and compatible software tools. Implementation is illustrated through methodological case studies focused on administrative and organizational contexts. Designed as both an accessible roadmap for novice researchers and a consolidated reference for advanced users, this guide supports rigorous and informed methodological decisions across research settings. While comprehensive in scope, it serves as a starting point rather than an exhaustive manual, encouraging readers to adapt and expand the framework to their specific research needs.
The persistent gap between the production of scientific evidence and its practical application remains a significant challenge in the social sciences and management fields. This study aimed to present an innovative model to bridge this gap. First, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify the shortcomi...
